--Aaron-- Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 We can meet this weekend. Can I please take to dinner? I do not mind helping diagnose a car related issue but as far as dinner goes or any kind of funky payment my fiance would probably not approve.

--Aaron-- Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 is she really that controlling that you cannot eat with out her? Nothing personal but I wouldn't feel comfortable even if I were single just up and doing something like that with someone that I do not know. As I said though if you describe the problem your car is having I'd be more than happy to help troubleshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, it's like taking rides in candy vans. Same concept really......iIt's nothing personal at all and I will do my best to trouble shoot the issue you're having if you describe it to me. I'd much rather know details about the problem before I tear into it. To post pictures you need a hosting service, i.e. photobucket.....copy/paste image address.

I'm sorry I was just instructing on how to post pictures, I'm not interested in a personal photo or anything to that extent. I believe it was someone else that wanted your picture. Your best bet would be to join the forum because, one....it is free, two....there is lots of good information and helpful individuals around. You can then start a thread describing your problem and gather feedback which will most likely take care of the issue. I would really rather the clutter stay out of this thread.......I do not want pages of worthless information as I intended to help people by sharing my experience with the voltage issue.

Black Betty Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Aaron glad you got it all sorted out I went through 3 alternators in less than a year. Finally found out the p/s pump was leaking on to the alternator and killing it. If you have a 98 make sure to go and check it. If you've been cleaning grime off the alternator (i know you would ) its most likely a p/s leak. Just a heads up if the p/s pump leaks it will kill the alternator quick.

Haha, it's not all sorted out yet. Next thing to be replaced is my battery to alternator cable which will take place next week sometime and then going to upgrade the battery grounds in the near future. Thanks for the tip, I'll double check for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had all my accessories running except the a/c on the R (damn a/c) it was somewhere around 13.2 volts it would fluctuate between 13.7-13.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 54 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 One thing to remeber Aaron is that the volt gauge is tied into the entire system and is monitoring all load AT THAT CURRENT TIME. It will fluctuate depending on what you are running. If you want the most accuarte reading then run it straight to your alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Aaron-- Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 yeah I guess I posted too early. When I had all my accessories running except the a/c on the R (damn a/c) it was somewhere around 13.2 volts it would fluctuate between 13.7-13.2 Yeah, during the day time when I don't have any accessories going I see about 14.4 with the motor cold upon first firing up and ~20 min. later it's down around 13.8. At night time w/ just my lights on it will hit about 13.5 and fade down to 12.8, it gets even lower than that when my cooling fan kicks on or if I'm running my A/C. This is far far far under spec. for a brand new alternator and battery. So we replace stuff......got that new B+ cable on, while it did make a difference it wasn't the solution. I'm going to try the battery to alternator + cable next. I want to get the grounds regardless at some point. I did test the battery to a few other chassis grounds and got the same readings on my multi meter but that's not to say there's not under lying corrosion.
