[QUOTE="chappy, post: 535384, member: 196"] yeah The alternator failoed autozones little tester so they gave me a new one. I now get 12.5 volts at idle with everything on. It goes up to 14v going down the highway. I made a cool little tool for moving the belt tensioner over to get the belt off. The ones from autozone and such are at the wrong angle and its a pain to get a rachet down in there so I made a serpentine belt tool. My kickstand doesn't work either so that made it fun as well but not now. I think I'm gonna try an overdirve pulley for now since whenever the alternator craps out I get a new one for free so if it eats up 1 a year so be it. Heres the source for the pulleys. Half the price of what doug was selling them for. My fuel pressure still drops at idle if I have lights on and heater so Its still not enough. My guess is the little fass helper pump pulls a lot of amperage. [url]http://www.cpgenerator.com/overdrivepulleys.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
