[QUOTE="njaykaplan, post: 6262147, member: 577496"] I had got a bad alternator for my replacement, already had it swapped out. I believe something was grounding out in my replacement alternator, as the alternator smoked until the battery was down to 0 volts. On the side of the road no less, when i thought it was fixed, and didnt have any tools. Basically watched my battery die and hoped the car didnt catch on fire, which it didnt, it was just the alternator smoking, but had NO way to disconnect it. Just swapped my alternator for a motorcraft rebuilt one, i believe a 4g off a cobra, and its all better. I want to buy a high output alt though, i'm open to only a few different company though. The local people heard of ohio gen and told me to stay away from them, and the brands i'm interested in right now are mechman and DC Power. I'd look at other ones, but i've spoken to mechman a few times and hes taken good care of me, and Rob at DC seems to give amazing service as it shows on here from his loyal customers [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG]. Anyone have any used alts, hit me up, otherwise i'll have to save up money for something brand new. [/QUOTE]
