So in summary my set up works well. I see no ill affects of my alternator blowing up, burning up, or whatever was stated here that I may be walking out of the woods.. LOL...
And if I used 2 gallons of gas or 4 gallons or whatever idling, then so be it. Lets say 4 gallons which is the high side IMO it would cost me 8 bucks worth of gas...
The hottest the alternator got was 188f. This is fairly cool for an alternator as it normally is in the 160f range anyway according to my temperature testing.. And this was after the first 20 minutes. After that is went down from there..
I assume even from my testing there will be some naysayers out there that may debuke my claims...
How can I improve upon this?
If and when this alternator goes I will replace with the 145 amp ad244 that directly fits gm applications with the cs130d 105 amp alt as I have..
The ad244 has better diode placement and cooling abilities.
Temp at 20 minute mark..The highest it read..
Here is the link/vid showing the cs130d vs the ad244 alternators gm produced...
