[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8553783, member: 665412"] can you just run 2 ad244's lol im not sure how they'll mount up but they're 200a each and cheap as **** from a junkyard. might be able to get a diff case (sell your alts and buy the ad244s for under $50 ea...) i havent had a single alternator fail on my truck and i beat the **** out of them at idle(450a draw).. so i wonder what kind of design your alternator is that may be causing this. are they small case? looking at what your voltage drop is, you're not that hard on them. try to get a dc clamp meter and see what kind of load you're putting on them at idle. if it's over 50a you might have an internal short somewhere or bad battery my money is with shizzzon, heat is the ultimate killer but why, too small of a case? bad engine location? inherently small rectifier on that alternator design? lower diesel rpm = improper pulley ratios?
