RE: [DML] New Alternator

["Dustin Dewey" <dmc5000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mike.
I had a heck of a time when I installed my 140 hervey alt.
the first time I put it on and we started the car up, there was this god 
aweful noise that sounded like shreaking from slaughtering pigs or 
something. lol.
I guess what had happened was that the best was getting tied up around the 
alt, because the alt
was not spinning. this is caused by the 3 bolt design of the alt. what you 
have to do is take the alt back off the car, and tighten the bolts in a way 
that when the best pulls on the pully, that it doesnt put pressure on one 
side of the alt. so when you tighten the alt, make sure you have even 
pressure on all the lugs. what I had to do was tighten 2 lugs really tight, 
and leave one on the not so tight side, so when the best was tightened up, 
it pulled the loose one back into place.
it seemed like the blades on the inside were catching before I did all this, 
but after I reworked the bolts, it worked out fine. it just takes a lot of 
fine tuneing.
my lights still dim even with the 140 that I have, when the AC cycles. I 
thought when I bought that, that it would get rid of that dimming, but I 
guess thats what fan zilla is for. so Im on the list for that now.
good luck to ya.
