well.. do you think that the fact that i'm running an underdrive pulley could have an impact on that?
i'm told that if you run an underdrive pulley, it's a good idea to do the "alternator wiring mod" which i haven't yet done.. i recently pulled my alternator out and had it bench-tested (i thought it was the culprit for a different problem) and it performed flawlessly, so i'm not positive that it's an actual problem with the alternator itself, i think it might just be that it's not getting QUITE enough "spin" from the crankshaft.. any thoughts? -adam |

The last time my alternator had problems I couldn't reproduce the problem to show what was wrong. It seemed to just act up whenever it wanted to. I had it bench tested and it was fine. They changed the voltage regulator anyway and it's been fine ever since.

Maybe it has to do with THE TRANNY ONLY HAVIN 2 SPEEDS!!! I think the alt. is the least of your problems. But uh, yeah it's probly your alt.
