Did the problem exist before the new alternators?? Have you verified alternator output voltage and amperage while running???
496 ECM's do not like low voltage at all. Full charge batteries should be at 12.7v. If they are down to 12.2v after running 5-10 mins If you are getting a stumble when trimming or tabbing, its taking a power draw from the engines or ground issue |

Yes at full charge 12.7 Agree on drawing when using switch but all battery cables including to engine ground are new. Both motors |

Problem was before Alternators being replaced.

Both motors Also, do you have a clamp on DC amp meter? would be curious to see amperage output at 2000rpm. Might also want to check your starter post fuse. I just installed a 105A alternator on my 496, but as part of that had to replace the orange wire in the harness with 4AWG as well as the starter post fuse to 150A from the 90A stock fuse... You can't just throw a high output alternator on and not change anything. |
