Altenator?
I know this has been done several times..and I did search but couldn't really find any information towards a carb setup..I'm building a 6.0 LQ4 based motor and will be using only the crank water pump and alternator. My question being how to hook up the factory truck alternator without having a harness. Do I have to plug anything into the plug on the alternator or will it work fine without..?

Get the pigtail connector from ebay. They are like $10. The you will need to solder a resister between one of the wires. This simulates the computer telling it ot charge. Then you wire the other wire to your battery. There is a big thread about this on here, i had it bookmarked then my broswer decided to uninstall itself so i lost all my little helpful tidbits.

If its a 2001 or newer truck alt it needs 2 wires.
Switched 12V to terminal C, and switched 12v to 470 ohm resistor to terminal B.

Thanks guys I talked to a local alternator shop yesterday and they said that I can have it converted to a one wire set up for about $50. So I think I might be going that route..
