Appreciate the suggestions.....but I'm not wasting my money and I have a battery tender.....
I have a few alternators, long story, and one of them is the 200 amp unit mentioned earlier and in another one of my threads.....
So I switch out the pulley, spacers and fan and I'm ready to go.....finally wrapped things up between snacks and some drinks (water, lol) and now the big moment.....engine starts and it charges......woohoo!!!
Check the volts and I am pegged at 14.5v and it stays there.....put the AC on and it doesn't move.....put the lights on and it goes down to 14.3v and stays there.....dipped to 14.1 and then back to 14.3v Did a hot restart and 14.3v and stays there......noticed my interior lights are brighter than they were before......
With the old setup when started volts would go up to 15.1v-15.2v before settling down.....so I think I have a big improvement over what I had......going for an actual test drive after the clean up......
