Re: Alternator problem or something else?
Not to hijack but I've been getting the battery light pop on sometimes. Okay, we all know that indicates a charging issue and sometimes my lights dim slightly at idle. When I hit the gas everything works fine. I have pulleys and a loppy cam so I figured the idle was just being a bitch. Sometimes it's like that. Anyway, I'm thinking about driving to NJ next month and I was wondering if I should go ahead and change the alternator belt to be on the safe side. The belt is about 3 years old but the ribs on it seem intact and it's not loose. It doesn't squeal either. The idle would lower and the battery light would pop on sometimes in the extreme hot after first running it. I figured it was heat soak. Oh, and when I say lower idle I mean like 900 instead of 1200rpms...
