Hi i have a 2000 ls and it's eating alternators????? first one i changed it lasted about three months second one lasted three weeks third one lasted five days any one know why this would be???
Maybe resistance in the wires causing the alt to run harder than it needs to and burning it out..
Where are you getting the alternators? Auto parts store alternators are notoriously of poor quality.
most of the DIYer Auto Part Stores can load test the alternator for you - are these actually testing bad?
NAPA is an exception.. I have used alternators from there and It's still in the vehicle..
Do you have the right battery in it and is it good?
Does it show 14.6 volts when running?
Does it start hard?
