LotsofChevys Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 So the 93.06" gates was still too tight. So no Goldilocks with gates. Gonna try a continental 93" which is what is called for for the 145 but is a gator back I guess. Guess they run a tad smaller.. 2360 vs 2363mm. Doesn't seem like I can find anything closer with the 2250 being way too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotsofChevys Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Well different brand (continental) seems to be tighter, also has a texture to the smooth side.. maybe this will be the one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 What vehicle is this? Maybe your turn-on signal takes longer to turn the alt on, or maybe even an issue with the alt itself, which is easily provable if when you reinstall the stock alt to test that, you dont continue to have the same issue. In which case, contact the manufacturer of the problem alt SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotsofChevys Posted December 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's a Silverado. I've already sent the alternator back once, no issues were found. The stock alternator does not have any issues as I ran it when this one was getting looked over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Then either your alt is the issue if the stock alt doesnt have the same issue, or you have loose/poor connections. There is nothing for that year that will affect you having an aftermarket alt. My money is the alt. Got a buddy with a chevy full size you can try it with in their vehicle?

LotsofChevys Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Not with the same body style.. I've got a 2012 also but that I'm pretty sure has pcm stuff going on with the voltage regulation and all that.. and I think it has a different mount for the alternator as well but I haven't really looked.. I'm gonna double check the connections again, and I actually added another ground from the battery to the alternator mounting bolt.( I've got the big 3 already) Read that on one of the threads somewhere for an issue on a Honda with the same issue lol. Who knows but if they didn't find anything wrong before I'm worried I might have to scrap the new alternator all together.. or only run it in the summer .. which is a waste for what they cost.. thanks for the input tho I've been trying to find anything else it could be besides the alternator....wish I didn't have to wait until the early am to see if anything changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
