[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 13608154, member: 14885"] Its not an issue of appreciating pics or anyone's work on the weekend. Its an issue of the fact that none of these things offer any kind of substantiated proof that we're looking at an air issue, causing the failure of alternators. I mean if some of you guys never even bother putting any serious miles, in daily driving, then how can you try and sell people that you just need an air duct and you're good to go? To date, in daily driving, real world activity, the most I ever got out of an OEM Ford alternator, [B]is about 42k[/B]. That's all year round driving. No air duct, nothing. I simply don't like when people, who never put any serious miles on these cars for whatever fears, try selling people on reasons for alternator failures, that can't be backed up. In fact, I think a real solution to getting longevity out of these alternators, for the upper only guys is a 3.0 vs. a 2.6 pulley, and for the upper/lower guys is the proper sized alternator pulley based on the combos. Don't attempt to sell people on your gimmick weekend projects, when you don't have any miles to back up the claims. That's just feeding false hope into guys. Its not an attack on your efforts or ingenuity. Its an attack on declaring you have it figured out when you can't even hit the miles stock alternators can hit, with all this jazz... [/QUOTE]
