So I toasted yet another Alt. Something tells me its just not bad luck anymore. I am not shredding belts or even showing a mark on a belt. The original/ upgraded one that the prior owner had boosted up was 90 amps. I went through 2 rebuilds from 2 dif places. One lasted 2mos. The other 4 and then I decided to just go new. Well now the new one has toasted as well. The first one locked up and the cooling fan blew apart. All of them seem to just melt/fry. Smell like burning metal.
The new one I bought was a remy/delco. 70amp. Dealer said it was the match to the original. Thought is was little under what I needed but they said should be fine.
I have dual battery (both season old interstates tested fine). and a small system with 2 amps(Syn 4 and Syn 2). Can't believe that is frying it as I barely run them hard at all. Any ideas on where to start or if it is just string of bad luck. ______________
