ho alternator problem

[Decaf]

how are ur bats? what kind... resting voltage?

[aleroking]

not to sure just had to put my friends bat in there.

resting mid 12's though

O yeah also my friend has the same car and got the same alt made, and he was dropping to mid 12's with only like 100 amps being drawn and yellow optima upfront

[Decaf]

resting should be 12.8-13.3

do u just have 1 stock wet cell...? replaced it with dry cell...? rear batts...??????

try charging the batt(s) overnight so the alt isnt trying to recharge the batt(s) and supply the amps

yeh just one stock wet cell,

but if you read about my friend ( if he has a 200+ amp alt, drycell up front and only 100 amp draw he shouldnt be dropping into the low 12's?

Cheap alt, u get what u pay for man. You cant expect the same quality to go into a $100 investment as opposed to a $400 one.

my friend went up there they just changed his regulator to 15 volts

the guy did a load test in front of him

with a 250 amp load the alt voltage wasnt dropping at all

Where going up there today because the guy is talking about some computer in the car could be holding the alternator back or something.
