[QUOTE="BigDrez, post: 1938398, member: 567991"] OK...On my way home from work yesterday morning my check gages light came on when I was almost in my drive way and I looked at my battery gage and it was between 9-11 volts...which is in the red. I didn't really pay to much attention to it at that point in time because I had been playing my system for about a half an hour at the time. But, on my way to work last night the same thing happened. So when I got to work I popped my hood and my alternator was EXTREMELY hot and I couldn't even touch it. (also I did NOT play my system the entire way to work because of the previous problem the day before) The whole way to work my battery gage fluctuated between 10.8 -11.2 volts. On my way home from work this morning I decided to take the back roads and I did about 65-70 the whole way home....with my RPMS consistantly between 1500-2200 I got my battery gage up to 13.8-14.0 while again NOT playing my stereo for the whole 35 minutes it takes me to get home. When I pulled in my driveway and sat at idle for about 2-3 minutes it dropped down to a little under 13 volts and again my alternator was hot. What is the problem here? Did they send me a refurbished piece of shit?
