carshateme Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Eh, I never paid attention to mine. But maybe your alternator has a short inside it. I think =S Edited March 10, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

Where is alternator located? remember, there is a lot of heat coming from the engine that will heat up other parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but when people say "Hot" I assume they mean that they cannot touch it for 3 seconds without burning themselves. Edited March 10, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

Robert8252 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Normal. Now if you're talking glowing red you have a problem. Going to be close to as hot as your engine is to the touch.

Rebel4055 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Touch the motor, if you scream like a girl it's hot. Now touch the alternator. Same temp and you scream? Yeah it's probably alright.
