    Battery over Charge

    Ok, that's the second time you have told me the ECM doesn't change the field voltage to the regulator. Thanks for reminding me of that I was getting lost in the Suppliers info and not thinking logically about it. The Supplier of the Bosch regulator I bought, (which is the same model alternator...

    Battery over Charge

    Hi, Thinking about it, I don't have a battery temp sensors will this be an issue? not sure if its meant to have one or not but I dont. Also whats the chances there are two versions of ECU or flash one for cold climates ie 15vdc is suitable and one for hot climates where 13.8 is all you want to...

    Battery over Charge

    Cruise control

    Can any one tell me the codes and in which module i need to look to tame the cruise control. Mine is very aggressive, using max acceleration to achieve even the setpoint even if its only a couple of k's off when pressing resume. Its so aggressive, I don't use it unless the road is almost dead...

    Tech 2

    Has anyone purchased a tech 2 knock off and found it to be fine? You hear plenty of horror stories, but some times I think this can be partly based on truth and some time scare tactics. If you can recommend a link that you have used, let me know please. Thanks from down under..:thumb:

    Battery over Charge

    I can understand an alternator charging at a high rate for a short duration due to load etc. But it is not sustainable if you want your batteries to last. At 14.4 Volts batteries start gassing, there are some exceptions to the rule such as Optima. But most lead acid starting batteries start...

    Duramax conversion

    I got the Allison in the Patrol, not sure what your reasons for wanting a manual are?. I was a manual person especially for towing, but with the correct engine tune the Auto is just as good if not some what better in my opinion. I have always been an engine breaking person when towing, I have...

    Battery over Charge

    Thanks for the reply, the alternator is brand new, on my vehicle the alternator field is set by the ECM, not self regulated. I think its core 38 (maybe 32) on the ECM harness. At least this is what I believe to be the case, the electrical drawings I have support this as well. So I suspect...
