well i got the new alt installed now i can't get it too go down below 14v unless i play a 50hz test tone and have headlights and a/c on full blast then it hits 13.99v haha thanks for the help guys.

oh what i meant to say was that the bosch says it comes with one. also i'm trying to upgrade my battery to alt wiring in 0 gauge its the last piece of the big 3. but my stock wiring goes from the alt to the factory fuse block then to the battery which i already have my amp wire connected to the...

oh and i read in their faq about them that most have smaller pulleys than stock which is why most ho alts have full output around 1200rpms.

anyone have anything bad or good to say about that bosch alt? is 235 amps enough?

5. Load alternator to within 10% of rate output current, using a load tester across the battery and an ammeter at the alternator terminal (B+). Voltage should remain above 12 volts, while output is within 10% of rated current. This is under their charging systems.pdf it says to test at 2000...

or what about this? Amazon.com: Bosch AL7537HO High Output Alternator: Automotive its rated at 235 amps and i can get it here fast with prime shipping.

haha well 1000 watts is still quite a bit to me so 4-5 should be crazy. But i do also understand how the alt is one of the most important electrical components.

okay so i'll disconnect the power cable tomorrow and if i still have a charging issue i guess i'll just get a ho alt. Advance wanted 150 for a refurb alt, that's outrageous. if so should a 200 amp alt give me some room to grow my system? cause as of right now i know my car needs more mids i...

Well it hasn't died, just refuse to start.

Well I don't think I have anything to measure amps. Could I not just disconnect the power cable going to my distro to check?

okay so i replaced the battery and started the car and my voltage jumped up to 13.8v with no load on. then i drove it up to the store to test and make sure and i noticed my the time i got to the store my battery gauge was low in my gauge cluster and the voltmeter on my distro was only in the 12s...

It only did that the first day it wouldn't start now I need a jump if it's only been 5 minutes since the car was shut off.

well i had a tire blow out last week and just had to replace all my tires so my spending money is extremely tight as it is. If i can get by with autozone just replacing the battery then i'm happy, if my alternator is blown i'll probably just get a ho alt.

Yeah that's not what he had. it was a computer device i don't remember seeing a gauge at all one side had the computer with buttons and the other was a small printer   ---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------   well i don't have a dome it's a...
