They recommend a 1/2 smaller belt, it already has a smaller pulley than my stock did. I'm not entirely sure what "overspinning" an alt is.
I mean, it's still an AGM though, isn't an AGM an AGM or am I mistaken?
You are very mistaken.
I've looked it up, I can't find something definitive between say the redtop and the yellowtop other than it says its meant for starting applications.. but why? do you happen to know?
In a nutshell- Starting batteries are meant to give a short burst of high current to supply a starter for the purpose of turning over an engine. Deep cycle batteries are meant for running high powered electronics and are designed for sustained current draw and many discharge and recharge cycles. Pulling constant high current from a starting battery will overheat the thin plates inside which hurts immediate performance (insufficient voltage because it can't supply the current) as well as a shortened overall life of the battery.

Right, I thought I understood the difference between a starting vs deep cycle, apparently not. I thought starting batts where lead acid. So, not all AGM are deep-cycle?
Yeah Yeah Ik, I f'd up by getting it, you told me that back when I originally got it, but its like I've got it now so I gotta use it while I can. Might as well get somewhat of my monies worth out of it.

Yeah usually the case....I can get them for 50 bucks so why not. Oh sure, go ahead and throw $$ away.bbbbbbbutttt my neighbor's friend knows someone that works at Autozone so I can get them discounted
Didn't see it mentioned but does your vehicle come with a PCM, where it controls voltages between alt/battery? I know some newer cars have this and you have to bypass it to prevent situations like this.Right, I thought I understood the difference between a starting vs deep cycle, apparently not.

Lame-o
I believe so, I got my codes ran today because my check engine has been on. What came up was..
I dunno how I would increase my idle, that would dope. I wasn't aware that agms were lead acid, tells you how much I know about batteries.
Thoroghly clean your throttle body, if that doesn't work, have the PCM reprogrammed to increase idle speed.
