Is your alt under warranty with Dom if so try another one. If you have to buy one try someone else. I would run only 1/0gauge next time bail the 4gauge. Those are regulated by your cars computer If i (remember right) Your car fuse should pop before your alt fries. Sure there is nothing modified to the alt? I'll run it buy Link he knows more about scenario's than I do. MLA missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 i never heard of an alt smoking, but it might be overheating from too much stress from failing batteries and having to work all by itself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
