[QUOTE="res0n0xg, post: 7968369, member: 74591"] I was noticing over the last couple of weeks, driving here and there my lights dimming a little bit, sometimes the car would not start right up, etc. so I kinda figured it was the battery. I haven't replaced anything as of yet, however Friday night I had some problems. The battery light came on after I tried to go WOT a couple times on a service road and had some serious power loss, I'm guessing low voltage to the fuel pumps caused this due to bad batt/alt? So, I cruise gently back home, and as I'm idling waiting to pull in to my spot, my lights die, I lose ABS, etc. all of a sudden like my batt is completely drained and alternator is dead as a doornail. The only thing that throws a kink into the mix here is I do have a lower pulley setup and am curious as to anyone that has had alternator issues with a lower pulley setup. I'm worried that I'm over/under spinning the alternator which either caused it to go bad, or simply isn't providing enough voltage. [/QUOTE]
