Dustin did just that. I was assisting Dustin's installation and was the one who left a message on Hervey's answering service from Dustin's garage. Hervey called Dustin back and explained how to tighten down the alternator. All is now well with the help of the vendor.

I hope you read the instructions that came with the alternator first. First thing to do is clean all ground connections, battery connections and your dimming should go away. Second thing to do is when you have a problem with any part you bought from any vendor you should ask the vendor you bought it from first before posting to the list because they are the one to ask when you have a problem with their product.
