Old thread, but shortly after Ryan posted this I realized that some of the odd electrical problems I was having were due to a defect in the 180A alternator. It was still under warranty, so I sent it back and they verified it was no good.. Earlier this year, they sent it back, still broken. I sent it back to them, but needed to get the car running so I put another Motorola in there.. All of the problems went away. After some discussion, the vendor agreed to give me a refund... But I never got it!! I just called today (2 months later) and asked what happened to the refund. "I changed my mind" was the response I got!! So, I have no Alternator and the vendor has my $190. Anyone in Dallas want to pay them a visit for me? ;) The 180A alternator mod is probably a good one.. I just think that all of us who tried it were using the same crappy vendor from EBAY. > Turns out I didn't have electrical problems - although tightening the > grounds did make a very slight difference in power transmission - just > a flaky alternator. > > -Ryan > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
