[T3] Endlesss Problems...another update...

I see... they were both stock setups with stock pulley's though.

Hmmm...

Keith

That indicates that you needed a smaller alternator pulley. An 
alternator should be run at faster shaft speeds than a generator. 
That's because, unlike a generator, there's no speed above which 
alternator output falls off. So you can set the pulley ratios to give 
you charging at idle.

With a generator you have to compromise on the pulley ratio, because 
if you make the ratio too high, output at highway speeds will 
actually fall off.
