I did see something similar happen on what I believe was an 82 model Chevy 3/4 ton with a 4 speed I think it was one of the first years using the 205 aluminum case.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
