[QUOTE="IllCobra, post: 16156317, member: 77366"] Sorry to bump this thread, but have any of you guys tried out the air duct vent cooling mod? If you haven't, I strongly suggest you all do. If you run a Aeroforce gauge, or any other device that reads your battery output, you can see what a difference it makes. I was able to increase city driving from 13.2-13.4 (sometimes lower) to seeing constant 13.6-13.7 while moving. And I never see anything below 13.7 while driving on the hwy. Hell, when the temp drops to the low 70's here in FL, I see 14.0 on the hwy. All this was after I did the air duck vent cooling mod. Best $14 you can spend on protecting your alternator. Heat is what is killing these things, so it makes sense that feeding it air would prolong the life of them. And I am not running an expensive alternator either. 160amp alt from ebay. [/QUOTE]
