[QUOTE="bamaboy, post: 1028532, member: 557566"] okay, is your alt even charging when you rev up, mine never charged any, but it had the wrong regulator for my vehicle on it, another thing i paid extra for an alt that would kick on at idle or lower rpms, the other alt didnt kick on until 800rpms or so, some alts are even higher than that, depends on what kind of alt. rebuilt ones usually kick in a good bit later than stock ones, but make sure what idle it kicks on at and make sure its even charging, because 12.6 or so means the alt isnt even charging, for an alt to be charging the batt, it need to be at like 14 volts or so to over come resistance, so if its at 12, thats not good, does it jump up to 14 volts when your driving? if not better take it off and go to autozone for them to test it [/QUOTE]
