A large grade 8 bolt welded on and then painted to match.
Not the best looking solution, but definitely strong enough.
Probably cheaper than having large washers made.
When it got hot, it came out of assembly just enough to stop making contact.
You can see where it was arcing a bit then stopped when it could no longer make contact.
Will see if new part solves issue tomorrow.
Part needed replaced anyway at least.
Removed ignition switch after testing a ton of stuff.
That thing is so fun to get to.
Power was good all the way to the ignition switch, but no 12v power going to starter relay from said switch.
All fuses were triple checked and the recommended ones were swapped out with new.
12v block on...
Both Alternators are identical in stock CUCVs.
That way it’s easier on logistics.
But since yours has been messed with, who knows what is still stock or if it’s even same alternator.
Suppressor had been removed before truck came to auction.
The 50A is on the brown wire I believe, but don’t think it’s any issue.
Will check the bottom fuse again and swap it out with a new one JIK.
Same with blower motor fuse.
How many fusible links are under Dash?
Will be taking out...

Was thinking about that last night while looking at TMs.
That it’s more likely Ignition/fan switch or ??
But will do testing tomorrow. Busy today.
I’ve physically checked all the fuse links under the hood.
All are solid.
Haven't dug into the Dash yet except fuse box.
The Dash wiring...
I did that yesterday and physically checked every fuse link.
Already applied Electrical grease to everything and made sure all connections tight.
Hands on checking everything, not just looking.
Installed new blower resistor and fan doesn't work after a bit.
Doing same thing.
Fan comes on and works fine, then quits and GEN1 light comes on.
Alternator works fine and when GEN1 light is on, Dash VM is still reading fine.
VM check on the alternator itself at idle and the reading is...
Just checked the starter relay with a voltmeter.
25.08V (engine off) on red wire.
Nothing on the others.
Same readings when turning key to start position.
Edit:
Voltmeter shows GP relay functioning normally
A few days ago I had the blower motor on Hi and all was normal for a few minutes and then the blower motor quit and the GEN1 light came on. Drove home and parked truck.
Next day, same thing, but this time I left the switch on Hi and after a few seconds, the fan came back on and GEN1 light went...
