Not the head stud nuts, the studs themselves.

And what did you use to seal the studs to block?

Maybe you need a smaller pulley on the alternator so it should accelerate faster that way thus increasing thruster bearing output to compensate for the high idle with the shorter belt meaning less miles traveled per rpm revolution to overcome the low charge frequency

yes but im at 1000 rpm 25% of that is 250 so the belt is doing 750 rpm which is enough to handle stock alt pulley
im going to make sure i dont have any loose connections.

voltage just goes down .01 volts per second
occasionally after it would drop 2 volts it woul jump .5 volts
nothing ever over 12.5
no dofference at 2k rpm

theres a plug going to the alt. Not the power output terminal.
It should have ignition ground and exciter, or a combination of those or even just one wire. That wire is controlled by the dash wiring/cluster in order to tell the alt when to switch the internal voltage regulator one. if that wire doesn't get signal, the alt wont put out voltage.

This thread continues to deliver.

What are we talking about, this plug into the alternator?

if you screwed it up go down to the store and buy a new pigtail and splice it in. IIRC there are 2 wires. Brown is the trigger wire, the larger red one is voltage sensing. The big red one on the BAT terminal does the charging.
