Man that clashes with your paint. God damn lol. Did you do the big 3 as well?

[S8track16]

Yep, big 3 is done, wiring is the same color.

You have any troubles getting it on? You use a tensioner also right? Mines right in the middle of the motor on the passenger side I think :( bet it's gonna suck to put my DB on..Kinda got parts piling up so need to start installing crap but dentals putting me behind on my build. Not enough $$ to do installs but just enough to keep buying crap lol...

...had some issues with the new alt, long story short, stock alt is back in since I will be driving 5 hours tomorrow. The internal regulator is having issues, my voltage was at 19.8-20.0 volts which is extremely dangerous.

Hot damn that's high! Wow.... glad you found that before you're halfway through that drive!

Ohh that's not cool. So the issue is with a stock regulator ? Hope this isn't something that happens often...Keep us updated please.

[S8track16]

The stock alt is fine, the 250a alt has an internal regulator which is most likely the problem. Good thing that I have a voltmeter or I could have cause a lot of damage.

and that my friend is what I was afraid of hearing lol. Hoe something like this pops up during a standard alt test at the orielly's.
