Ok everyone I am on my third alternator in the past Month in a half.
The first one I went through was a performance alternator from mean green, and I had installed a 0 Gauge power wire from the alternator to the battery (as it recommended)
Lasted 700 miles
2nd alternator lasted 2 weeks: stock alternator
3rd alternator lasted 2 days:
They came back and said that all electrical connections tested out to be fine, and they think that the cause is the 0 gauge wire making it full field and die.
Anyone think this is possible. A fellow CEG'rs car is running 0 gauge from alternator to battery and his is doing fine.
