mentis Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hey, the forums are back up! lol... Okay, I guess I misunderstood that somewhat. Either way, I believe I'm just going to go ahead and replace that alt. Figured I'd go with a lifetime warranty one from O'Reilly and call it good. Hopefully the voltage is right though, which I know is not always the case for some reason. Is it supposed to be 13.5V or 14V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 A good alternator should be able to maintain the output voltage between 13.5 and 14.8 volts while the engine is running around 1500 RPM and there is a good load on the electrical system.

mentis Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but there have been new developments where I thought this issue was resolved. Initially I thought I was having an unrelated problem (so I started a new thread) but as it turned out the alternator I had replaced went bad too. The story continues in this thread... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1019447 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
