KickerKid58 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 ok so about 3 weeks ago I installed the 'big 3' on my 97Lincoln Continental. when i went to add some coolant the a few days ago i noticed some really fucked up shit. the + connection to my alt had either grounded out somewhere or got too hot from the engine heat. my guess is grounded out b/c the soder from the connection was almost totally gone, leaving the 0ga wire just hangin in my engine bay , and the rubber insulator on the wire wad split about 3 inches down the wire ( like from super heat ). so i temp. taped it off and set it aside against the firewall untill i had time to fix it. now to top off the story my alt gave out on the way home from the bar this evening. i am gonna try to get some picks up tomorrow but im SOL right now so idk. just what i need while taking a full class load and working 35 hours a week, needless to say i do alot of driving. any input would be awesome. right now im running a junkyard alt cuz it was cheap but i have an old (bad) h.o. alt layin around that i might just have rebuilt since itd be cheaper. theres a place close by that'll do it for about a buck and amp and im only lookn to replace stock so ya thats the plan right now 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 DC Level4 12" Soundstream TA1.3000d 4 RF Punch 6.5" Components 2 RF Punch 3.5" 2-ways RF Prime 400.4D XS Power XP950 +&-run of XScorpion 1/0 OFC My Civic Build

bumonskateboard6 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 How do you know your alt gave out if it wasn't connected to charge your battery?

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?
