[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1262437, member: 561023"] That, just like most other topics that center around capacitor usage as an attempt to bolster low voltage issues, is debatable. What I can tell you for certain, detroit_fan, is that upgrading the [URL="http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=124175"]'Big 3' [/URL]underhood (see linked thread) will do two things for you: 1) You'll save money as it costs less to upgrade the Big 3 than it does to buy a .5 farad (or larger) capacitor at retail prices. 2) It'll do more to help out your charging system than a capacitor ever could - guaranteed. If getting an HO alternator is out of the question for you right now because of funds then something even cheaper than a capacitor should be right up your alley. Another potential option, if applicable to your case: If you have access to any automotive electrical specialists or starter/alternator rebuild/rewinders in your locale see what it might cost to have your current alternator rewound to a higher output. Not all alternators can be done this way and then the only other option, obviously, is replace the alternator altogether. However, if rewinding is an option for you it should be cheaper than a complete alternator replacement. Good luck and hope this helps!
