[QUOTE="tuscani66, post: 14010733, member: 159362"] Interested in this alternator though still leaning on the OEM replacement; I have 36k miles on my 2004 and I'm seeing signs that my alternator is going. At start, I'm not producing amps, multimeter starts at 12.8 prior to start, after start it drops to 11.4 and continues to drop slowly. If I rev the motor once or twice I can see the battery jump up and multimeter shows a steady 13.3 to 13.5v for 5 minutes than shut down car. Either I never really noticed it before but last week I started the car and let it idle for about 10 minutes and car died. Had to jump start it, gauge of batt was on 8v (dash gauge) and rev'd and quickly jumped to the normal/middle position. This weekend I'm going to check the connections to make sure nothing got loose, was wondering if this is common. --edit-- reading the horror stories of the alternators and people with less than 50k already on their 4th; I also read about pulley or higher amp increasing life but for some, no change. I'm holding steady at 13.3/13.5 after rev, should I just replace the alt or if its holding there I should be okay for a while?? [/QUOTE]
