Will bags push some weight forward?

 

Installed my lower AC Line last night... What a difference in room

 

Drag bags keep the rear from squatting

 

They help with rear squatting. On my car at 4psi of boost off the line it still transfers some weight but I have more torque than you, so you maybe ok.

 

My alternator took a poo

 

Where you still using your old one and spinning it backwards?

 

No I have the lsj one and the lsj belt setup. 6 rib conversion

 

That sucks, are you at the Texas meet? Seems like it's always the little things that get you.

 

No I’m at home

 

Well it wasn’t my alternator Not my battery either. So something with my wiring

 

 

When I went back together with my car I had all the symptoms of a failing alternator. I started the nut down to attach the main hot cable to the alternator but never tightened it. It was one of my dumber mishaps.

 

We took everything apart last night twice. New alternator did the same thing. We tested all the wires and everything was good. Started the car up and it was making a weird sound. Kinda sounded like a boost leak but I think it was the alternator making the sound. Drove it today and the voltage randomly went back up to normal and it’s fine now. No noise either. I was going to take it apart again today but I’m not going to touch it since it’s working now.

 

The whistle noise is the alternator charging it's ass off as the battery was probably low. As long as everything is ok now, the whistle goes away.

 

Seems like it’s ok now. Weird.

 

I'd double check grounds and connections.

 

Well it’s doing it again

 

I don't remember if HPT can turn the L terminal on and off and I was just in there last night setting up my fan speeds. That's what commands charging. You can take a Volt Meter to the L terminal and see if there is voltage there.

Is the battery indicator on?
Any codes?
The alternator has a great ground just by bolting it up.
As you probably know, the alt. Battery terminal connects to the starter battery terminal.

 

No the battery light isn’t on. Just check charge system. We have tested wires. But we have extra harnesses from another car so going to just change them and see. Changing the wire from the alternator to starter and the one that goes to the trunk to the battery. I think something may be grounding out. Like a wire. We were driving home last night and my headlights turned off and back on again and looked at my gauge and voltage was low again.

 

Is the alternator brand new? Even if that's the case it could be a defective reman.
There are tests that can be done rather than replacing wiring and parts.

 

New alternator and my old one is doing the same thing

 

What kind of battery are you running and is it good. CS alternators do not like sulfated batteries.
Make sure when you were working on the pump that the current sensor wires on the ground cable weren't damaged.

 

Battery is a couple years old. I’ve never had issues with it. And yes it’s good

 

Let us know what you find... Hopefully the PCM didn't **** the bed.

I checked last night... You can turn the L line off and on in HPT.

 

I have an extra pcm
