heheh... funny.... it started raining right after I finished installing the alt'nater, and hasn't stopped since. Ex-roomies let me use their drive way to install the new alt'nater, and used the time to badger me a bit by doing things like asking, "want me to start the car?" ... then 30 seconds later, "how bout now?" real wise guy he is... heh
Anyways, I stayed for SciFi Friday (/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif). It's more fun to watch the SciFi Friday shows on their monsterous 70" TV than it is on my wimpy lil 21" TV. Anyways, it was around midnight or midnight-thirty, *cold*, and raining when I left there. So that gave me a good test run for the new charging system. I decided it'd be a good idea to take the B for a spin to give it a good run down with the new alt'nater. Initially after start-up the charge light went out with the choked high-idle speed. After letting the engine to run about 30 to 60 seconds, I started driving. From there, with lights, heater, and wipers running, the charge light glowed dimly and got brighter as the engine speed went up. However, that lasted only for a short period of time (maybe a minute or two). Once the charge light stopped glowing all together, I felt good about the installation. I drove the car about 10 to 15 miles around the area.
The first thing I noticed after the charge light went completely out, was *all* my lights are considerably brighter than they were before the swap. They're not as bright as they were when I started this thread, but they're definitely brighter than before (headlights were a dim yellow before).
I'm glad I put that thing in ... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
