Before pouring goop in the system, get yourself a head gasket tester. It's a bottle of blue juice that'll turn yellow in the presence of exhaust gases (or maybe yellow to blue, I forget). If you buy...

It's been I guess five days now and alternator #4 is still holding. I've been driving the car using minimal electrics and I think that may be a factor. My cigarette lighter voltmeter came in and I've...

Thanks guys, your posts have truly been helpful. After charging the battery all night I came out to a battery that was reading 12.8 at rest and disconnected, then 14.39 at idle once the GP relay...

I think I'm going to have to entertain the thought that perhaps my car is killing these alternators. Alt #3 just crapped out this morning. Got about 100miles out of it.

Ok, I've tried grounding the alt housing to the battery neg terminal, and running an alternative source of 12vdc to the exciter terminal and still nothing. This alt is going back.
