    At what voltage will this run? I don’t have grid heaters I’m worried if it’ll over charge I recently installed a transpo voltage regulator the one that requires screwing 4 different wires and it charges but like barely to 12.3- 12.8 when driving around not sure if it’s good it’s my first dodge truck

    So if I have paid attention there is only one wire connected to the big stud that goes to the battery!?
    And maybe a extra ground wire to the block for security!?
    No wires connected to the contact point on the regulator needed?

      I just did the install on my 12v. Keep in mind the engine has been sitting for years. Im just now finishing up my project. Install was easy. After i connected my one wire and a ground to the battery the heat dissapating fins started to warm up. Looking to get a mew alternator. Do you trust the ebay "denso" reman alternator or should i go through a parts store. Any preferred brands?

    • @abrielonsurez4051
      @abrielonsurez4051 4 місяці тому

      I got a new alternator, swapped the brushes and self excitor into the alternator. Once i plug my old alternator connector on the back of the alternator the heat dissipator fins begin warming up when the engine is off just sitting. Should i just run a cable from back of alternator to battery? Alternator is grounded to battery to ground tab on back of alternator.

      I used a Denso style reman unbranded from amazon or ebay. It burned up the alternator. I just opted for the 200 amp alternator w tac signal wire from PA Performance. I used the wrong alternator im sure. Just went w the easier fix PA Performance 1 wire w tac signal wire.

    And when using this setup in a custom dash with aftermarket gauges is it also still possible to have a charge gauge working?
