Well its running but the dang altinator died again ! have another one one comming in monday. Have a life time warenty on it but this is the 3rd one thats died. I talked to the guy behind the counter (at Baxters) and said "if the next one that comes in fails I want a refund." He got all huffy.
Ive been through 3 alternators from the time i started this build. I think its heat from the manifold thats killing them but than again the first one i got died in 3 weeks. I wonder if its the remaned units.
I put a laser temp gauge on it after a long hard run and the alternator is only 158 deg the head was 196 and the manifold was 220 something so i don't thinks its that. I also have an amp meter. Expensive thing it is. I temporarily put it inline from the alternator bat out to the battery and with every thing on. Radio blasting loud, heater on high, interior lights on, front back window washers going, head lights on bright and the ER flashers working, I was peaking at 38 amps on a 50 amp alternator.
I'm stumped on how I'm killing these things. I even checked contacts and random shorting to ground nothing.
Where are the photos? I see nothing after your first post. I assume its an image hosting issue, if its not a huge PITA for you to fix I'm sure we would all love to see them again.
Thanks for writing this up!!!!!
Currently working on image issue. digging them all out of storage and hosting them again.
Fig ill upload 10 a day.
