[QUOTE="WhatsAminiTruck, post: 8196036, member: 655685"] I've got big 4 completed... used 2awg. And I just hooked up my new Mechman alternator, and it's not charging crap. I tried switching the volt reg wires around and got no change. I did a charging system test on it and I'm getting steady 13-14v no load and 12v that steadily drops with load. No change when I switched wires and re-tested. All of the stock OEM wires are still hooked up EXCEPT the original alternator power to batt positive, and the alternator ground wire. I didn't hook them up because they didn't fit the new alternators bolts. My buddies bringing a drill over tonight so I can bore out the connectors and see how that works... but other than that... could there be another problem? It's the 240amp S-series from mechman. Does anyone have experience with Mechman Alts? [/QUOTE]
