Thanks guys! I’ll be sure to do all of that before I do the swap. Just need to find some time now

Well I did what you guys insisted. My buddy sold me a 97 D21 for $400. What do you guys think? Odometer reads 300k but the guy my buddy originally bought it from said it was rebuilt but no paperwork was shown. Was able to drive it and it runs excellent!

Yeah I think I’m going to pull the alternator again and get it tested somewhere else.

haha all the gauges work but the battery warning light. Haven’t been able to get around the some testing with the holidays. Hopefully I can get to it sometime this week

Interesting. I will definitely get that fixed then. Does anyone happen to know which color wire goes to the red light on the dash?

The alternator was pulled and tested two weeks ago.

Yes it got dimmer and dimmer. Not sure on the red lamp light. I pulled the dash off a long time ago and didn’t label wires so I don’t believe that light is hooked up. It was working before I pulled the dash though. Let’s say the red lamp light was lite up. What does that tell you?

WELL... it’s not fixed.

Mike is correct. Test light is hooked up with key off and there is no light lite up. Battery lasted over night and did a 60 mile drive this morning. I must have read a forum wrong about how to test for a drain. I thought key on with test light lite meant there was a drain. Before I replaced the reg, I was have symptoms of a bad regulator. My bad guys! Haha thank you all!

Yeah I know. I should have never bought parts. Smh.... Anyways, i did have the test light hooked up with the key off before I turned the key on. Test light was not lite up. Brake lights are not on, fixed that problem. Steering wheel was replaced with a different wheel and I just read on a forum that the wire could cause it to ground out and drain the battery. I pulled the wire out to make sure it’s not being grounded. Dome light has no light bulb. Thanks for the response!

Thank you all in advanced! Just started having this battery drain recently. Started her up one evening and drove to have dinner. After dinner, I jumped back in the truck and went to start her. Nothing happened, no lights or clicking. Jumped her and she started right up and was able to drive home. The next day I went to go start her and nothing happened again. Before this issue, the starter was a little slow when cranking and so I went to oreillys and grabbed a reman starter. Also ended up replacing the alternator and battery after that. After searching on some forums, I did a few checks. I hooked up a test light to the negative cable and post, turned the key and the light came on. I pulled the fuses under the dash and the light stayed on, pulled out the cigarette lighter and light was still on, I disconnected the voltage regulator and the light turned off. Figured that was the issue so I went to oriellys and grabbed a voltage regulator, installed it, hooked up the test light again and the light came back on. I’m lost at this point. Any other things I should check out? Thanks guys!

Does Jeff still sell his Can-am box's? I found his thread but the last post was from 2013.

Ehh just because I spent some money to get it fixed. But now that I know the D21 transmission will fit, I agree with you on doing that swap.

Only problem is that he doesn't have the ecu, intake, etc. actually started looking for some D21's locally and found a few. Would the transmission in the D21 fit in the 620 or do you think I should just keep the 5 speed I have (was just rebuilt a few months ago) and find a z series front case?
