I have been trying to contact Dave who does the alternator upgrades by using the PM feature, not doing well at contacting so am trying this more public approach. Dave if you are reading this I would like one of your upgraded alternators.

If he isn't doing it anymore that is too bad, I was responding to his ad. I wonder what the process is and if it is difficult or not, maybe a local shop can do it. I need to take my alternator for a redo and it seemed like a good time to get it upgraded but I read the recent post where some said 55 amps is enough. I noticed a huge improvement in my lighting when I replaced the original sealed beams with halogens and I don't think they draw any more power. I know mine needs attention as the red light comes on after a hard right turn so at the very least it needs a new set of brushes.

Clean your grounds.. Get a better than decent battery.. I run 2 50lb. amplifiers, 6 speakers, halogen 100 watt upgraded h4 headlights, an eq, a rear trunk cd player, a nulti channel electronic crossover, the tape deck/radio, 80 watt fog light bulb h3's.. charge my cell phone and light the cigarettes constantly, electroninc ignition ect.. with my wipers on in the rain wating to make a turn with the flashers on with my foot on the brake lightin the rear car in reverese lighting cause i had to back up a little and no worries the sytem is just fine. nevr ever had an issue... lowest drop 12 volts (maybe a touch under momentarily).. stock set up but rebuilt alt. and new harness and new volt regulator.. running like that for 2 years.. just my opinion and the plain truth, I even had 2 huge power sucking subs at one time.. oh my lights are bright been told soo by other.. clean your grounds all over the car, clean up the wiring get good working parts not unkown used. it is a fine factory desighn.. |
