I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L and the alternator is dead. I picked up a used alternator from a 1999 Ram, but when I went to change it the wiring harness is different. On the old one it has a black box looking connector that has 2 field terminals and a ground wire (that mounts to the top of the engine) I think it may be an external voltage regulator. On the new on it only has a small 2 wire connector. Is it possible to splice the new connector on to the 2 small wires that go to the old alternator? And does it matter which wire goes to each terminal? Does the new alternator need an external voltage regulator? or is it built in to the new alternator?
It should fit.

Case groung= BLACK
Battery Positive = RED
Field wires = one green, one blue
They have been this way since 1970

I just got a pair of 2008 tail light lens for my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. If you look under the rear there is a connector that runs up to the tail light. This is a small harness. I believe that all you need to do is purchase the 2008 tail light harness. It looks like it will snap into the bottom of the stock harness and will fit the 2008 lenses.

I have put alot of break controlers in and you want it to the out put side of break light switch i always hooked it to the switch. Also wherever i spliced i used heat shrink connectors, even if the wires are different sizes thats just the way i do it, and never had any problems.
SOURCE: Fusible link wire gets really hot.
Removing the two smaller wires stops the exciter current to the alt which stops it charging.
Usually if a wire is getting hot its because:
A: Current overload..
B: Corrosion in wire restricting current.
C: Corroded terminal.
