REPOST,,, lol
SHORT MEMORY?????????????????
Years ago I found and posted many times to many people and many forums as to the FORD 3G alternator????????????????????????????????? Whats up?>?
DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE to try and use more electricity than you are putting in?????????
A SINGLE WIRE ALTERNATOR: simply ties the signal wire from the regulator directly to the load circuit and was designed TO BYPASS THE ENTIRE wire loom and get a BETTER LOAD reading directly to the load sending source,,,, IE: the large black wire in an Econoline from the battery side of the starter solenoid to the dash board. The single wire load shifted about 24"'s,,,,,, and not the other side of the wire loom,,,, LOL
To make a single wire alternator out of any alternator you simply tie the signal wire on the alternator directly to the wire that goes to the battery side of the solenoid so that it can read the load requirement without being dragged down by going through the wire loom. On ours it reads it by the black wire in the 1st place,,,, LOL
Our trucks were NEVER INTENDED to deal with the power requirements that we now put on them let alone all of the late model things that we add. Our trucks with a heat generator inside an oven!!!! and then we insulate it to keep the heat inside of for a longer time,,, NOVEL THINKING???
Think about it,,, NO FAN SHROUD to force the air to come through a radiator,,, an alternator that has to run at over 1,000 rpm to put out is FULL output of 40 amps!!!!!!! add insulation to the doghouse to help KEEP the heat in there so that it can boil the fuel in the carb,,, add to that a belly pan to TRY and force additional air through the radiator but it only works when going down the highway,,,,,and use your heater (additional alternator load, LOL) to try and keep the heat down and so now you have to keep the RPM up and it still wont keep up,,,, NOVEL THINKING,,,,,,
Years ago I came up with an alternator that put out more juice at an idle than the stock one puts out at 1500 rpm!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can u imagine that,,, LOL..... 90 amps at 600 rpm and up to 200 amps at full tilt boogey. hmpmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,
The FORD 3G alternator!!!!! its a bolt on, has a piggy back voltage regulator (meaning you can dump the POJ stock one), comes in 135 amp, 150 amp and 200 amps.
So,, as a Ford guy,, (lol) why would anyone bother going through all of that work when you can simply bolt on an alternator that puts out 90 amps at idle while the Chevy guys with the 100 amp single wire alternator are calling AAA,,,,,NOVEL THINKING,,,,, lol
In the following picture the yellow wire is changed from going to the battery side of the starter solenoid and now connecting to the output wire that goes to the same place,, LOL,, now a SINGLE WIRE alternator,, LOL Picture hosting is giving me a bad time??? cannot delete the double pictures,,,tired of messing with it,,, will send this and try one more time,,, krud,,,, late for work,,,
