[QUOTE="hoss, post: 2105478, member: 549860"] right and wrong at the same time... re-read what i said... low voltage is not the cause of alternator failure. increased demand from the charging system(IE excessive current draw) can cause alt failure, but seeing as how the alternator is the originating source of the voltage, i dont think it is likely that it will harm itself... heat is the enemy of all electronics. extra current = extra heat. extra current needed = alt works harde. alt working harder = increased heat output. increased heat leads to alt failure. but you are on the right track with it, saying that low voltage is going to kil an alt is kind of a blanket statement. re-wording it to say "the excessive current draw ******* my voltage down is going to harm my alt" would be more corrector [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
