KAC1023 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I just put in my Iraggi 300 amp Alternator (large case) and put in a slightly longer belt to accommodate the larger case. On the Belt tension pulley I saw the arrow that should be "between" the lines for adjustment, it is right at the 50 yard line in it. When I go from a standstill to "all out" floored between 1st and 2nd I got a belt squeak. Should I put some oil or something on the belt? Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Bone stock trucks have the same problem, usually a Goodyear Gatorback belt cures this.....it is common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAC1023 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 thanks for the quick reply. Now I gotta find out why the voltage fluctuates a little bit. I think I gotta do the big 3 upgrade, I have plenty of wire, just not a lot of terminals, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006SilverSS Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Bone stock trucks have the same problem, usually a Goodyear Gatorback belt cures this.....it is common. Yup, Gatorback is the way to go, after getting the shift kit in my truck that was a huge problem. Installed the Gatorback and all was well again. As for the fluctuation of the voltage, on a stock alt that's normal since the output varies depending on the load and amount of juice needed. I would just contact the place you picked it up or the manufacturer and confirm if that's normal operation. Unless of course it's fluctuating a whole lot, then something is probably going on.

KAC1023 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Gatorback belt huh? I gotta get the # off my new belt because it is a little longer to accommodate the larger case alternator. I upgraded the power wire off the Alternator to a 1/0 it stopped the voltage flux, I still have to upgrade the ground wire, I'm going to take the alternator out with the alternator bracket and drill a hole in the bracket to the lower right of the alt.

KAC1023 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Good ol' Summit Racing, I ordered my belts last night at 7pm (thursday), they will be here tomorrow (Saturday) no extra charge either. I also ordered the AC belt for while I'm under there. If anyone is doing a large case upgrade there are two belts summit shows, the larger one 93" I believe it is is for the larger case. Tomorrow before I change the belts I'm going to upgrade my ground wire from the Alternator bracket where it says GND I'm going to drill a nice hole and run the ground from there to the battery.
