ZombieswithMustaches Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Okay, so I just went and blasted it for a good 3-4 min. The only lights that are dimming are my interior lights and my parking lights. My headlights don't dim at all, that I can tell. So...just extra batteries??

ZombieswithMustaches Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah, I just don't have the tools. But I've heard, AutoZone doesn't check alternators correctly unless it's actually out of the truck?!

ZombieswithMustaches Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 And I said the resting voltage of your battery. Sorry, he didn't tell me. He actually didn't seem like he knew too much! He just kept wanting to know what kind of amp I was running that would need that big of alternator!

TeamHT Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 They can only test it incorrectly if they're truly inept. And I've run much more on similar electrical with 0 issues. They obviously don't like checking the batteries correctly either Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch0sen Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 even so, it may be a ground issue, you should have next to 0 voltage drop with that alt Quote My current 95 Jetta Build w/ pioneer h/u 2 RD Sonance 10's with flatwind coils 2 Audiopipe apsm 1500.1s 1 Hifonics Brutus Elite 60x4 1 XS d925 1 Stinger spv35 1 1000 amp lead acid 50 ft of 0/1 ofc from Audiotechnix all powerbass components, and coaxils, 4 sets buildlog = http://www.stevemead...2-rd-10s-build/ My build for my wife. http://www.stevemead...01-f-150-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 You should find out what your voltage is to see if its dropping on a load. But I don't know, check grounds might be a good idea as well Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
