Well today Georges alternator catastrophically failed and turned 6-8 inches of two wires in it's harness to turn into fireworks. I've already replaced the alternator and cut open about a foot of the loom to replace the burned up wire.
Everything is working perfectly now, but i'd like to replace the pigtail, or the complete harness. This is where things get stupid. I work at a parts store, we don't even have a lookup for this particular pigtail. Bwd and dorman both told me i'm SOL, neither of them make the pigtail. All of our local competitors failed to find so much as a part number. The ford dealership here couldn't even find the damn thing! It's a freaking pigtail! How hard can it be?
If anyone here has been through this and was able to find a solution i would greatly appreciate your assistance. If i can't find a new pigtail i suppose i will go dumpster diving at the junk yard, but i'm trying to avoid that.
For those of you that don't know george is a '95 f250 supercab 7.3psd 2wd.
