The alternator has the pulley it has for a reason, don't put a smaller one on unless the alt manufacturer specifically says you can. You're not going to get full output at idle, it just doesn't work that way. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6167 Registered: Jul-06 | Most alt's only do 1/2 their power or less at idle so it's not surpising at all if you get voltage drop at idle that's just the way it is. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6173 Registered: Jul-06 | Thats what I thought.... CS144 I'd really like to know: Did that alt fit on your truck and bolt up to all brackets including the one behind the alt? Did you get a different belt? |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Digital Design 9515, Massive Audi... Post Number: 2106 Registered: Dec-06 | it fit perfectly with bolts and wiring harness and everything. the belt was extreamly tight the tension bar was all the way pulled back and it took a little work from me and my friend to get it on there but when you finaly get the belt on it just barly fits and ive had no issues i installed it in june. my truck is a 2001 |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6180 Registered: Jul-06 | Umm it's not supposed to be like that you really should put a longer belt on it. Are you absolutely sure that the bracket the bolts into the back of the alt case fit on right? I have NEVER seen a CS144 alt fit properly on a vehicle that it wasn't meant for. Reason I ask, I have researched this before and everyone on s10forum says the rear bracket will not fit right. And without that, the alt case will crack and break eventually. |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Digital Design 9515, Massive Audi... Post Number: 2109 Registered: Dec-06 | well i emailed iraggi befor i bought it and they said it would fit. plus on the sit it says its meant for s series trucks. like mabey if the engine isnt a 4.3L it doesnt fit right but it fits fine for me. and ya i know i really do need to get a new belt like about 1cm longer would be golden i just have had to much other stuff to fix and a belt just isnt at the top of the list. if you want tomarrow i can take pics of my alt in there and take a pic of the rear bolt sliding in and out freely. |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam RD, Texas Post Number: 2192 Registered: Mar-07 | hey M.S., why is my voltage apparently higher when it's cold outside vs. when it gets warmer? for instance, it starts and stays at 14-14.2V when it's cold, whereas it starts at 14V and drops to ~13.8V when it's warmer. |
