Inadequate charging system. How many real watts is your new system? Big 3 done? What size alt? Battery?
Don't get a cap thinking your problem will disappear. Please. |

You put in a HO alternator without doing the big 3? Thats a recipe for major trouble right there. |

"You put in a HO alternator without doing the big 3? Thats a recipe for major trouble right there."
Haha agreed. Would you extend a garden hose with a drinking straw and expect good flow? It's the same concept with an alternator and it's wiring. High flow/output alternators need high flow/current wires. |
