Got a weird question for you guys.
It seems to me my 3G alternator is getting kind of hot.
I finished up the alternator swap a couple weeks back and the alternator took a crap later that day. I was sent a brand new one. As soon as i finished i started it up and let it idle for a few minutes and then shut it off. Five minutes later i touched my alternator and it seemed like it was really warm. I dont think it should be like that????
Anyway, i found a difference in the 3G wiring insturctions from this site, and the instructions i used that came with the kit.
The factory plug that i cut that has the two orange/black wires, are they not to be used? or should they be bolted on the back of the alternator stud along with the 4gauge power wire? The insturctions that came with my kit (ebay kit) says they should be on the back of the alternator, and stangnet write ups say they should be taped up and tucked away (not used at all)
Could this be the cause of my alternator getting hot?
thanks
