I want my **** Lethal Injections....

i installed my battery and alternator...

the battery is great, everything is hooked up correctly

however the alternator is not being friendly. i get 12v with the car on, meaning the alt isn't charging anything. i went over it three times over two hours, then decided that i'd wait until today and take it out to auto zone to get it tested.

wtf?

maybe the old alternator was externally regulated, and something wrong happens when i try to put my stock external regulator on the excessiveamperage alternator.

idk!

Sounds like the EXACT same problem Noah's having with his Mean Green alt...

naw. the alternator was stubborn to come out, but i just wasn't prying enough, and i was scared.

PLEASE, if you ever do this, make sure you disconnect the battery first... i ate a hole through the old alternator by arcing the lines //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif blue sparks galore!

is it safe to run your battery negative to a ground 1.5 ft away only?

as in... all electrical components of my car through that single zero gauge wire from battery negative to chassis?

i'll post a pic of my stock alternator someday, stay tuned.

and i didn't want to remove my old battery terminals, so i wrapped them in a dishrag then duct tape. don't flame me for this !

um. i hope you didnt unplug your old battery terminasl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

because your car wont turn on if you took the posative one off...

why not just leave them on???
