Cool.
There is a very reputable alternator repair guy not to far from me. I bet he can test it for me, and get me the smaller pulley to......
Like I think I mentioned elsewhere, I really don't mind if this thing only puts out 80 amps total, I just want alot of my total amps down at idle.
Come to think of it, I don't think it is an 80. It most surely is a 115 because, the other day when I was testing, I had an ammeter on the lead to the fuse box. I revved the motor up to 1500 rpm and block the throttle to hold it there, then turned on every device I could... Current draw on that ammeter was about 82 amps, and my voltage stayed at 14.2 volts, which means that the alternator can attain 80 amps with negligible voltage drop...... I would think an 80 amp alternator would have been seriously sagging in voltage (like 12.8 - 13.2 volts) when completely saturated like that......
Am I on track thinking this?
