Interesting. My alternator is working as it should. I verified that much with the voltage drop tests.

I'm interested with this wiring fix though. The one mentioned in that post. Did someone ever do a How-To on this? I don't remember seeing it anywhere. I will do it if I end up performing this though.

They mention cutting the red wire and running it to the nut of the thick cable running back to the start/battery. Where does that red wire go to in the harness? Here is what I'm talking about:

1. cut red wire from 3 wire plug from alternator.
2. extend the red wire STILL HANGING from the connector to the main CHARGING wire.
3. the red wire going into the harness is no longer used. TAPE IT UP!!

Heres a Pic of the final wiring. The PINK wire is your new extension.

AGAIN, i cant take credit for this, and yeah i really feel for all of us who have replaced the alternator and did not see any benefit.
