that defets the point. he can set it to lets say 15v and the computer will always make it 13.8v. theres power lost there
Scottie J (who used to run optima batts) told me to NEVER go past 15 volts on any optima battery.
thats alright im geting rid of it
i sent it back once already, he fixed it. it over heated and somke came out of it, it had bad diodes
so this is obviously a mechanical problem. im guessing that the tensioner is moving up (more tension) instead of down. if thats happening then the alt is so hard to turn that the belt is being streched out then yanked once it gets tight enough. this would make your alt pulsate and change voltage. if thats a problem with the belt, tensioner, or the alt... i have no idea. trial and error?
yeah it dose. but theres no power. do i just take it to my dodge shop to fix the tensioner or can it be done with my skill level. i installed the alt myslef
that same thing happen to me too idk i was confused as hell like you LOL
oh god! kill me now
ah ha. so the alt isnt working as hard and the tension problem goes away. that is a good sign. it means the alt is good. you may need to try a few differant sizes in belts b4 you get it right. i really dont know about a stiffer tensioner or how hard it would be to install. a smaller belt will make the tensioner put more... tension on the belt. try to start at a lower voltage in the mean time. slowly raise the voltage till the slipping comes back then back it off a little.
wrong, the more load you present to the alt, the harder it is to turn. no load and the alt spins very freely.
it came wired. All i had todo is plug it into the alt and had a green wire that need a non regulated power sorce that only works when the car is on
