[QUOTE="Tractionless1, post: 13611448, member: 59392"] Never did I or anyone else say it was a fix. Quit reading between the lines to make an argument that is unwarranted. Congrats on your 42k non ducted alternator, you got a good one and I'm sure you realize their hit and miss. FYI I ran a 4" pulley on mine, so I don't need your pulley ratio lecture. Although I'd like to see your rational for putting a 3" in place of a 2.6" and how it would overspin the alt., because you're dead wrong!!! A larger alternator pulley would underspin the alt., IE slow it down to help it run cooler. When you can grasp that I'll let you lecture me. Not selling anyone on anything and couldn't care less if no one does it. If you think the reported voltage gain due to cooling effect is worth the 10 mins it takes to run the duct, do it. If not don't I really don't give damn. There is zero negatives in attempting the project other than a $15 duct and the time it takes most to take a dump. No reason to hate on us that have choices and don't have to drive our cars. For some of us it's not our first or for that matter second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or in my case seventh mode of transportation. :-p [/QUOTE]
