i bought mine used so i really couldnt tell ya. with no real current draw i sit at 15v. if i have my lights on, foglights on, heat on, and a hk4000d running full tilt i dropped to 14v. thats plenty for me.

kinda don't trust ebay with something like that. rather get it straight from the company.

1) companies sell their shit on ebay at times. IE alterstart is the maker of loadboss...when you go to ebay and look up load boss, the seller is "alterstart". its the same thing just like when you buy iraggi alts off ebay. not everything is private sellers.

2) if you're sitting at 13.0v there is a problem. with my stock alt as well as my HO alt, i sat at about 14v and my buddy sits the same. both are explorers. mine is the OHV 4.0L and his is the v8. have you done the big three?

3) we both run, and recommend mean green

edit: seems you have done the big three...am i accurate in my reading of your post (ie you sit at 13v even with no system playing)?

You had a multimeter in your pics. Why cant you read the voltage at the battery while its running?

I'm idling at a smooth 220 amps on the bench.

edit: alldata says the spec is 14.1-14.7v. close enough. definitely shouldnt be in the 13.0 range (but then again, the OP is just guessing)

I got an Iraggi that I haven't had any problems with.I know there are a few people that have voiced their oppions about him but I can't say anything bad.He also offers a lifetime warrenty as well as an exchange plan.Give him a call and see what he can do.
