In retail parts business, absolutely hates CS alternators, guaranteed warranty return.
I preferred the older SI family of alternators, if keep it in the GM group. I use to run a 165amp alternator from '85 Fleetwood brougham, in my '77 GMC 3/4 LWB van. Never had issues for 10 years, 3 wire 2 wire are just like the older 2 wire SIs, 3rd wire was ECU (ELD circuit) I believe. Part of the problem CS alternators is not enough housing to absorb and manage heat from charging. the large CS alternators used in 18 wheelers were a lot more reliable.  |

The stupid alternator started cracking again. This is the last attempt to keep the CS130 GM 1 wire style. If the reinforcing cracks I'm going back to a Denso. I really don't want to have to redesign the mounting bracket for the 4th time.

I'm not sure how handy you are at fabrication, but I built the TKX bell housing for my kia 2.0 in free cad(onshape) and had it laser cut locally. for the tools and everything I'm in it for around $600 You just made the adapter plate? I just hate the idea of flywheel spacer or custom flywheel. |

so i got the muffler on sounds good out of the exhaust but i still get some slapping or clacking or whatever noise you want to call it coming from under the truck.
i think its coming through the cheap amazon y pipe i used, it seems to have some thin metal and i can hear the slapping exhaust through it, it sounds terrible and like a huge rattle. i have some exhaust wrap left over from my last turbo kit, so i'm going to wrap the y pipe with it and hopefully dull the sound. i have read a little bit on the interwebs about how this heat wrap deadens noise somewhat. we'll see. it sounds like shit when i hit a certain RPM and the slapping starts. also i just generally hear the exhaust more than i was expect even from thin walled headers. its normal to hear more exhaust noise through headers, but this is a lot more. annoying |
