ok so i just spent 2k and 2 weeks killing my self on my build upgraded the wireing batts cleaned it up...etc but today i get a chance to open it up full tilt because my negibors are gone and i have 13.0resting voltage... start my truck and it drops to 12.9 ...wtf? ok so whatever im gonna try this shit...lol
turn it up and and my voltage does nothing but drop i just had my alt repaired for the 2nd time it has only had maybe 3- 4 hours of run time and 2 under a load from a hfi2500.1........ just installed 3 fully charged shuriken bt-120s and daul runs of xspower xplex wire i have 5 grounds under the hood 2 on the alt and 3 on the frnt batt,all my 300 amp fuse's are good,my frame and rear grounds are tight and clean,all wires and batt tremainals are clean etc this alt was fine untill i started my truck today... i did see my voltage in the morning drop from 15.0 to 14.2 slowly over the last 2 weeks (but its been warmer out)
i called said alt company and just like last time it the first thing said was did u hook it up wrong? WTF im a licanced fucking shop!
i tear cars and trucks apart daily and put them back together+ i do know what + & - red and black is...said /asked if i might have touched the wires? do what? ummm no negative...lol (mind you even tho im thinking this i was calm and nice...lol) long story short they want me to send it back to them..last time i was blamed and lied to( i used the wrong size terminal ) when the alt got there they called and said it was damaged ...ok i did ship it shity my bad but when i got it back it was still the same case ,pully and the same rear cover that i was told USPS smashed in (still had my install marks and paint on it no dents!) so now im supposed to send it back in and have it repaired even tho i know for a fact i will be charged even tho this bitch was installed right and under warranty. please dont ask me what alt company im not trying to bash said company and get shit talked about me on youtube or here....im not a hater
so what would you guys do?
im think im gonna send it to excessive amperage and have a him see if he can make it right and dependable since said company can not even if i pay....
srry if this is more of a rant im still pissed over my $400 paper weight
