Re: Alternator running hot

They do get hot normally, I would check the voltage output, see if it is within normal range, also check amps if possible, make sure the pos cable on the alt is tight and the battery and ground cables are clean and tight also. Can you trace the smell to the alt. My TB does this for days after changing the oil and filter as some oil gets on the block.
