[DML] Re: Alternators

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

My alternator was original from 81, and after all the years it finally
started to die about a year and a half ago. With my headlights and
heater fan on during driving, I would have poor acceleration until I
shut something off, that's how I knew mine was going bad. I could be
going up a hill with everything on and have poor performance; when I
shut something off (fan or lights), then the performance jumped right
back into normal performance, actually made the car shake when it came
back to normal from being bad. Anyway, it could be your alternator, or
just a bad contact on the main wires to the starter, grounds etc check
those out. Replacing the original alternator is something you should
look into; because if it hasn't gone bad yet, it is likely it soon
will.  -----Dani B. #5003
