as far as I can tell they are all OK. I can't find any that look unusual or broken, but I'm also not sure where they are all locateed. i see one on each side of the engine, but other than that nothing jumps out at me as a ground wire when I'm under the truck.

i think one or both of mine on each side of the engine, that are bolted to the manifold covers, are broken off, truck still runs fine though.

I picked up a used alternator today from a JY for about $50. I had it tested when I brought in my 5 day old battery to be charged . It all checked out. The alternator install was actually pretty easy one I figured out how to get to that bolt thats in the back at the top. The coolest thing was that as I'm lying on the garage floor looking up at the space where the alternator should be I noticed that the exhaust manifold was missing a nut on one of the studs. "EUREKA moment" the nut that holds the positive cable to the alternator is the perfect size and I just happened to have an extra right there. So the alternator is replaced and the pathy is a little bit quieter. I'm going to have the old alternator tested tomorrow just to be sure but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will do the trick. Thanks again for the help and support.
