RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - al perna - 09-29-2015 22:28 well, so far, so good on the new ground wire to eliminate the overcharging alternator . It was only a 2 hr drive up the North east Extension , but tomorrow will be a better test and I will report back . I bought a 3/8 16 bolt, and a 47" negative cable at Pet Boys . I used one of the threaded holes on the alternator to bolt down the one end , then connected the other end to the negative battery post . Used a couple wire ties to keep the cable away from anything to hot . Sorry about the lack of Pics but my phone will not allow them to load on my computer , one day I will get around to figuring it out RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - davidbrady - 09-30-2015 08:48 Nice job Al, so what are all the changes that you've made while trying to fix your alternator? Trying to keep up with everything you've done. RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - ernie ekberg - 09-30-2015 10:00 my alternator works fine- was there a spike in Als? RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - al perna - 09-30-2015 13:39 Ernie, yes no only a spike but pined at 300 v . This change I feel is a must for all s60 s if there is not one already . We have seen this as issue over the years on many s60 . so bad the 12v regulator is making a comeback . I will bet there is nothing wrong with any of them , I still have my old one, this is the 2 nd for me . I will test it when I find some time to play around , maybe Q. David , To be honest the only thing I did was remove the positive cable off the alternator along with the big belt and run the genny . did this for 2 or 3k miles ough!!1 such a easy fix, even I did it RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - ernie ekberg - 09-30-2015 19:20 You going to be at Q, Al? RE: 50DN Alternator Ground Cable - al perna - 09-30-2015 21:08 yes Ernie , Lord willing we will be racing across the country right after my meetings in Pa second week of Jan. |
