[QUOTE="START 'N CHARGE, post: 11278798, member: 75600"] Well guys,i found a couple threads where people are,shall we say,not happy with my product. I will admit,in the first year of building them,i had parts problems. I had no idea of the failures of the factory units,let alone the aftermarket problems. But since then,i try to upgrade parts to the performance level THAT I WOULD EXPECT out of an alternator.For my own car.Each one of you toss your own mods into your COBRA,be it triple fuel pumps,rear end fan coolers (yep)lights,etc.These things DO factor into the lifetime of an alternator,be it mine or not. These alternators are a bastard unit from the factory,on a stock vehicle. Mounted way too low with no airflow,too low of an output for the demand the car has...poor enginering from the factory. From the feedback i've had & diagnosing MY returns,i've upgraded every time i find a better part,only the rotors have been a factor so far in my testing.The rotors are the main failure point,spinning them so fast the wires came apart.Also the brushes bounce @ high RPM.Thats why i recommend a larger pulley.....to slow them down. I do not sell you what i consider to be a questionable unit,that being said.....i open this post up for your experience in dealing with me,i'd like to hear your feedback direct in my post,rather than tripping across post's that flame me when i had no clue you had a problem.:shrug:In other words,if nobody tells me,i dont know! :??:Let the games begin!!!:pop: BTW the factory units are 110amps.....NOT 130 like a couple people keep swearing too!!!
