On both alternators that I've had, I will end up with a low-voltage problem whenever I drive thru puddles of water. I was also reading up on another site about the PRV in the Eagle Premier, and it mentioned that the alternator on the bottom of the motor is not an ideal place to be mounted. It also went on to speak about installing a splash sheild, or having one fabricated. Does anyone have an imput onto this? Specificly if on was ever made available for the Volvo 260, or 760 V6 that could be installed onto the DeLorean? Runoff water here is pretty groady, and my last alternator was caked on with road grime. So I'd like to extend the life of this one far beyond it's warranty. -Robert vin 6585 "X"
