Subject: responding to previous posts

Plese try to edit your replys when responding to previous posts. There
have
been several responses to a previous eight paragraph posting that deal
with
only one of those paragraphs. When you simply hit reply the whole previous
eight paragraphs get included and they'll end up, over and over, in the
archives. I've trimmed all but the subject paragraph in those so far but
I'm
getting tired of doing that and may start rejecting posts that don't take
this into consideration. I may sound like I'm being a hard ass but the
archives will become a un-navigable mess if this keeps on.

Bruce, this week's moderator

My 2 cents:

D-Phoenix

Seems appropriate for some of the newbies (like me).

NO...this is the worst thing that you can do! You can damage your 
alternator just by doing this. The alternator monitors the battery 
voltage and adjusts itself accordingly. If the alternator 
doesn't "see" the battery it will think it's dead and begin to put 
out full power. Keep the battery off long enough and you can burn the 
alternator out. This is why when you get a new alternator there is 
always a sticker on it warning you to make sure your battery is fully 
charged before installing the new alternator. 

To test the alternator simply, just get a multimeter and put it on 
the outputs of the alternator (while the engine is ideling). The 
reading should read about 13-14 volts. For a more accurate test i 
would bring the car to a mechanic with a load tester to test your 
charging system. They will be able to pin point the problem.

remove one of the battery leads (preferbally the positive), then test 
the pos and neg for 12-17vDC. This will tell you if the alternator is 
producing electricity. I had to change my alternator and all was ok 
partly due to the old motorolla only producing 68vDC and the old 
rusted nuts causing resistance shorting out the charge. If you need 
to change the alternator, I have a list of part numbers that will get 
you a straight replacement from your local parts store, OR if you are 
like me, more power is always the way to go. I will have a new web 
page up in about 2-3 days @ www.sk1pper.com that has pic of mine and 
how i put a 140a alternator on.
