Colin - STAPUFT Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Posted November 17, 2012 A whole lot of not much after a few months.... ...in short- I cheated. I used diodes on the alternator harness wire to trick the alts into thinking that they are working with LESS voltage than they really are. So, the alternators step up their output voltage. The cheap easy way to raise alternator voltage. I just put the diodes in the harness, before both CS-130 Alternators. Up goes the voltage- and the voltage doesn't drop as badly either. They don't seem to get any hotter- we shall see if any blue smoke comes out. haha 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

HunterJohnson Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 WTF Collin! You made your own alternators and know how to trick them into raising voltage.

You're one clever cookie haha! gotta' be clever when you have caviar hobbies on a ramen buget. But thanks bro. I need to do that on mine, mine rests a 13.8, I want to see 14 lol Give it a try. You just have to find the right wire from your harness. With two diodes in parallel you are "supposed" to get a 1.4 volt drop- but in reality, it equaled a .7-1.0 volt gain off of the alternators. But I know what you mean- even if it just a little bit, it feels great to see it just that little bit higher. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
