[QUOTE="Roland, post: 8571018, member: 647142"] I murdered it alright [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I also been known to murder the English language! But I'm not sure why the Alt shorted. I thought as you did at first but... Here the thing. 1. It shorted 15 minutes into the drive not right away. The battery already had 10 minutes of charge on it before the stereo was cranked so at that point the battery should have been drawing much less amps as at first start up. Also the stereo was cranked for 5 minutes before failure you'd think it would have failed right away when cranked. 2. The voltage never dropped below 14.1 every time i looked (according to my 80PRS) 3. My system is every efficient, and it probably wasn't drawing any more than 40 amps (it has a 60 amp fuse in-line.) and the van shouldn't have been pulling any more than 15-20 amps.(window down no lights on) 4 . It's a 130 amp alternator cursing at 2500 RPM(which should be peak output.) 5. It has a factory a 120 amp fuse from the Alternator. So i'm assuming it was pulling 70-80 amps at the very max,,, (unless something else was shorting like a power door or... but then you'd think the voltage would be lower. Thanks on the grammar, really i can't spell chit without speel check. [/QUOTE]
