Ive got a 94 k1500 silverado 5.7 tbi. I have been going behind previous owner with wiring. It is a bit hectic. Most everything works and functions to my knowledge except for the overhead interior light but not too worried about that, and the fuel gauge . Ive had to fix dimmer switch and I deleted aftermarket lights and a trailer break. I have fixed a couple of miscellaneous shorts as well. After doing so i finally got 14.5-15 steady volts on the dash, 14.6 to the battery, junction block, and alternator. Before it would vary from 12-15v. And all of my fuses are good and am getting power to whole fuse block.
*After doing these things i have realized my alternator will overheat, hot to the touch in 5-15 mins.* It is brand new, oe alternator. I do not know why. My best guess is there are shorts I have not found or the previous owner really messed something up i haven't found. If anyone has any tips or what to do going forward, it would be a big help.
