well. i just purchased a 3g alt and did the swap. i have the inline fuse and everything works. the problem is, when i turn on the lights, turn on the heat, roll both windows down it seems like the alt cant keep up with the draw and the voltmeter drops big time. i went and had the battery checked and it was only reading 13.7 when i had it reving at 2,000 rpm.
i know this alt should be good enough not to have that needle budge. do i have a wire grounding out somewhere and can i test that. should i add another ground wire to the engine? i really need this amp to put out enough juice. i got my cb and valentine v1 and sirius radio as the only real add-ons.
