ToNasty Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I charge at 12.8 a lot of the time. I really only charge in the 14s at night when my lights are on ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seni Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was told the alts are the same from Anthony at DC alternators. the same and the "same" are totaly different things im not going to argue with you about if the alts are the same or not it doesnt matter the alt is not the problem. but if you really want to know what the facts are the alts are the same plug/mounting pattern they are not the "same". they are interchangeable. the computer controls the charging the alt literally has nothing to do with this problem.

ToNasty Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm telling you I was fighting with this for the longest time. Yes it's computer controlled. But the sensor tells the computer. It's normal for it to do that. It's for saving gas. It's normal. The truck will only charge at what it needs to charge at. It doesn't need to charge at 14 all the time I'm not arguing with you. Maybe I'm just not good at explaining things. I'm in the middle of running dual alts so I don't have to worry about it anymore ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If you want to charge higher, than turn your lights on or get dual alts. That's all I can tell you ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom50cal Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 comes to forum to ask for help argues with all the seasoned members. makes sense eh? OP if you want to completely get rid of the smart charging bullshit, go get a dual alt bracket, get an internally regulated HO alt, or run an external regulator like a VCM, and run your system off of that charging system. VOILA no more smart charging effecting your amps input voltage! On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

ToNasty Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I did say all of that in earlier posts ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seni Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 you added that you've been fighting with it forever and that you had to go to dual alts to fix it..... which is new information. so basically if you had started with that i would have simply asked "so theres no way to trick the alt to charge at 14+"? and you'd have said "nope sorry". and we would be done. instead you give me a run around with other information that doesn't matter and then i get called out for arguing with the seasoned members. New people don't stay here long do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
