Fuseable link J

jdavidsmi
Can some one tell me what size is Fuseable link J

At some point in time it was replaced with a wire, but that wire gets hot. Saw some of its smoke escape



The white wire is taking the place of the link.

Depends on what alternator your truck came with.  See the note in the lower left, below.

However, you can't just go back with a normal piece of wire.  A fuse link has special insulation that keeps the insulation from melting as they can run hot w/o blowing.
