I never claimed that I had the cure for this problem, it was my way of addressing some of the believed to be contributing factors to the said problem.
Opinions are like belly buttons or other parts of the human anatomy, everyone is entitled to at least one.
If these threads frustrate you to the point of ridiculing or finding the efforts of others annoying you can either contribute in a more positive manner or don't bother at all.
Over the many years of owning high performance vehicles I've tried numerous things to address various problems, some were successful, some were not.
But the bigger point I'm trying to make here is that I tried.
You seem to look at a glass as being half-empty, while I look at it as being half-full.
BTW, you never did answer my question about being proactive or reactive.
As far as people who don't drive their vehicles enough, that's their choice, but I would feel better knowing that I have made some improvements that are sound in theory than doing nothing at all if and when I am driving my Cobra. It may be a gimmick to you, but I believe it's a positive contribution to known problem.
Listen...if you guys don't want to drive your cars on here...then by all means don't.
But some of you guys make threads, SUGGESTING to people that you have a 'fix' for their alternator issues. Which you simply do not.
Please drop the babe in the woods routine with me.
You guys know exactly what you are trying to suggest to people with these air duct threads. And you can't substantiate your claims because you guys don't even put a substantial amount of miles on your cars.
And YEA that bugs me big time. When you guys don't even subject your cars to the daily abuse of a dd seeing all seasons, then want to hold up a 'fix.'
And that's what you guys are trying to do. just don't have the balls to actually say it, but then want to flame me when I call you guys out on what you posting on here.
I'll tell you what...cause I'm a fair guy...get back to me when you get 42k out of your OEM alternator with your air ducts...and I'll eat crow.
cause I got 42k out of mine, in rain, sleet & snow and seeing dd duty and never had an air duct hooked to them. In fact I bet I could have gotten more if I swapped out my 2.6 pulley for a 3.0 and overspun it a little.
That's the simple point I'm trying to make. I'm on my 3rd alternator. Its not like I haven't looked at this issue myself.
