I will probably give you a call later on this week, I should be able to come down in the evening one day if it works for Jarret as well.
Just talking to guys on another forum; apparently 4 Hummer alternators went in a single day on one of their runs... all from splashing them with water. That pretty much fits with my problem, I ran into problems shortly after that big puddle.

Glad you made it back home safe Nick, I gotta say I'm amazed the battery lasted from Waiparous back to Calgary! I'm usually back into Cochrane 5-5:30 in the evenings so any day should be fine, thanks Nick!

Cool man, let me get my appointment(s) for the truck sorted out and I will let you know which one works for me!
The bumper might be going in for a new powder coat this week too, which means the winch and my crazy Roo-Lites will go on at the same time! I will probably look at figuring out a way to keep more water out of the engine bay while I am at it.
I have a feeling I am going to be crazy busy this week, lol

I made it back without any issues. Those zip ties would probably out last the rest of the truck if I left them.
Looking through my pictures it looks pretty clear as to where Nick got into trouble. He had a little different line through the one bog and that front drivers side really seemed to dip... the water level seems highest pretty much exactly where his alternator sits.

I love seeing the look when I pull up to one of those $5 charity car washes with my truck looking like it is.
I put some more pictures up in the Hummer Entertainment thread if you haven't seen alriady.

Yeah that is probably the very second my alternator sparked and died, water was likely rushing onto it though the grill.
I wonder if there is a way to protect it better?
