You have any troubles getting it on? You use a tensioner also right? Mines right in the middle of the motor on the passenger side I think  bet it's gonna suck to put my DB on..Kinda got parts piling up so need to start installing crap but dentals putting me behind on my build. Not enough $$ to do installs but just enough to keep buying crap lol... |

Beefing up 3 electrical wires to allow more power output from the Alternator.
- Alt to Battery Positive
- Battery Negative to Chassis
- Engine Ground to Chassis

...had some issues with the new alt, long story short, stock alt is back in since I will be driving 5 hours tomorrow. The internal regulator is having issues, my voltage was at 19.8-20.0 volts which is extremely dangerous.

Ohh that's not cool. So the issue is with a stock regulator ? Hope this isn't something that happens often...Keep us updated please.

The stock alt is fine, the 250a alt has an internal regulator which is most likely the problem. Good thing that I have a voltmeter or I could have cause a lot of damage.
