Update time!

Alternator tensioner turnbuckle broke again, seems to happen routinely every 15-20k miles. After the last time, Mach4 suggested a much more sturdy stainless steel marine grade turnbuckle. This was great advice, and with further research, instead of a marine turnbuckle I bought a stainless tensioner with heim joints on the end, specifically built for tensioning applications. I then set it on the shelf and didn't install it(dumb), waiting to do so "when I get time". Well, this one breaking was ample reason to install it.

When I pulled the truck into the shop to install the tensioner, the shutdown was a mite bit sluggish. Turn off the key, ran for a continued half second before shutting down. Odd. While under the hood, I pulled the vacuum line off the shutdown box on the IP, no surprise to find black oil in the line. Snagged the spare shutdown box off the old IP, swapped it out, blew the oil out of my vacuum lines. The oil had not reached the pump yet. Back to normal shut down.

Just keeps moving along.
