I'm about to enter the high power world of Alternators, (club memeber here sells them). Does anyone here had good or bad things to say?
Thanks |

The idle falls off a little. I think that's relative to load. The greater the electical load the more resistance the alternator has to turning and the more it loads the engine. All alternators will drop the idle. It's more noticable with this engine as it doesn't have as much real low end grunt. The stocker held idle better under load. I'm hoping to run an idle air controller with the fuel injection that will essentially crack the throttle minutely when the idle falls. But, that's still in the future. The way it is isn't too bad. I just step the idle up a little and run the idle a little high all the time. Dave |
