Question
hi i have gotten 4 alt.in the past 2 weeks and a new bat.and alt isnt keeping my bat. charged i hop u can help thank u

Answer
Hi Rick, Check to make sure that you power to the BIG RED wire at the back of the alternator. Put a good amp draw on it to test it, Like a hi beam headlight. I thinking you have a bad wire going to the alt and there is no amp flow to the battery...

Let me know
