The stud in not suppost to turn. If it shorts to the case then fireworks will follow. That will be a direct short. Time to take your alternator apart and rebuild it.I'll clean it out when I get off and if that doesnt work I'll grab a new plug in the morning. Is that stud suppossed to be loose though? Also there is a red ring around it that appears to be cracked and broken up if that means anything. Thanks again.

there are two there - any idea which?Gen 2 relay is under the dash near the starter relay that is often upgraded.
Ouch... I knew this would be painful. But thank you none the less.The stud in not suppost to turn. If it shorts to the case then fireworks will follow. That will be a direct short. Time to take your alternator apart and rebuild it.
That terminal is only used on GEN1. It is the feed for the tach buffer. Only used with the STE/ICE diagnostic system. GEN2 would have a rubber cap on it from the factory. The cap has been lost on most trucks over the years.View attachment 425562
I think I figured out the actual problem with Gen 2 and the voltmeter... should there be a brown wire here? Ive attached a picture of all the wires that were attached to Gen2 and me pointing where I think a wire is suppossed to be. Also it appears the stud doesnt freely turn its actually just wiggling in the gap created by the half disintegrated isolator washer.
