OcBish Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Wow seems like alt issues is americas new big problem... Ive been having alt issues for the last 8months.. Ive been thru 1 stock alt, and 2 H/O alts.. Ive wasted like $1200 bucks on alts and still no progress ... Anyway i doubt its the belt usually the belt makes noise when loose/slipping.

99s10walled Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 The alt im running cuts out on me intermittently. Will be fine one second then with no load (audio) it cuts out and im running on pure battery power. Does it with no warning and goes straight from 14v+ to 12.7v. Stays out for random amounts of time, the longest being 20 mins. So far I have been told its due to belt slip. I am running a 6 toothed belt and when playing hard with 10kw when the alt decides to work, my voltage doesnt drop below 13.3-4v. That leaves me to suspect it isn't belt slip. Today I turned the car on and alt isnt out putting any voltage. Checked all wires, jiggled a few - still nothing. 30 mins of driving later - still nothing. Opinions ? (Note: I haven't named the manufacturers as this is a ongoing situation, I dont see the need to bad mouth someone for no reason hence the anonimity) my old mechman did the same thing.. then one day it stopped charging completely turned out the voltgage regulator melted and some parts inside burned out.. they told me it was due to setting the external regular higher than what they come set to(14.6) whats the use of an external regulator if u cant set it higher i had it set at (15.2) but in the end they gave me a full refund Quote TEAM FLEX ISSUES Alpine cda 9886 4 AA Mayhem 15"s dual 1.4 1 Dc 9k 10.5 cubes tuned at 36hz 156.1 dash 154.6 meca mod 4 157.0 kick 2 xs power d3100s mechman 270 amp 2011 Ca state champ meca modified 4 and p&p 4..

FiQ150db Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 my old mechman did the same thing.. then one day it stopped charging completely turned out the voltgage regulator melted and some parts inside burned out.. they told me it was due to setting the external regular higher than what they come set to(14.6) whats the use of an external regulator if u cant set it higher i had it set at (15.2) but in the end they gave me a full refund My alt from day one has never gone above 14.1v. It was meant to be adjustable, it turned out it wasn't. Then got told the VCM will be out soon, still not out. Now alt does this. It was meant to charge at 14.9 but never did I once see anything close to that even on cold days. Im in the UK so its a PITA for me, but the UK distro is doing all he can to help me .

FiQ150db Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Took it to a alt specialist yesterday. Blown regulator, blown rectifier, cracked rectifier. They were pretty shocked about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
