lol every time i read this from you it just makes me laugh harder. how exactly is the vr going to know if the battery needs charging or that the headlights and or wipers happen to be on in an older vehicle the point maxi is that it cant and fortunately it doesnt have to. all it needs to do is keep the voltage with a given set of parameters and the system will take care of itself including the battery. thats terrific. unless it doesnt work like the ops vehicle. so while you are busy trying to show off how much you know about how it works im telling you to find the problem that makes it not work. and its obviously not working because its boiling the battery. let us know when you come to a conclusion as to what the problem is because at least three of us have said to do a better and more thorough check of the wiring and componants before going any further. meanwhile youve taught us how the system works about five times. thats great but this particular system is not working properly. so instead of jabbering about how it should work develop a troubleshooting procedure and fix the goddamnned thing. well wait. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. no numb nuts we are searching for the cause of over current thru the battery what kills me is that he knows that because he suggested it but he keeps going back to how much voltage the vr is putting out via the alternator. i keep telling him its not the voltage but if the voltage is continued beyond when its needed i.e. current pushed in when no demand is present. lol every time i read this from you it just makes me laugh harder. how exactly is the vr going to know if the battery needs charging or that the headlights and or wipers happen to be on in an older vehicle the point maxi is that it cant and fortunately it doesnt have to. all it needs to do is keep the voltage with a given set of parameters and the system will take care of itself including the battery. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

hi guys hoping someone can help me. i recently developed a rubbing noise in my truck while turning. it occurs in forward and reverse but not every time i turn. if i press the break while turning it does not seem to have an effect on the rubbing noise. can anyone give me an idea what this might be the noise does not seem to be tremendously loud and if the radio is on i can hardly hear it. again thanks for any help you can give me. joe i have same truck and maybe the same noise best i can approx in text is err err err. hear it more since changing to a slider window in rear not sure if its a loose body mount or what. nothing visibly loose outside or under. truck has only 38000 kms but not really babied. ron in bc .

if the speed sensor is bad shouldnt it effect the cruise speedo odometer trip computer or something when it gets very bad yes. it may just be generating an erratic signal right now which the abs computer is particularly sensitive to. when it gets worse your speedo will either not function at all or only above a certain speed. ditto with the odometer. if the speedo is working cruise control isnt affected. the sensors about a $30 part either from dealer or aftermarket and takes all of 5 minutes to change. $300.... i really hate people like that. go ahead mike... defend that one. .

the old soundstream line is one of the better ones out there... too bad everyone had to improve everything. nosey if you are interested ive got a soundstream amp i can sell. its an mc245 and should be just the ticket for what you are looking to do. not going to win any major competitions but will make you think youre able to. i can dig out the specs if you are interested. anyone that knows good amps knows about soundstream. this one is from the old school original designs from soundsteam. actually here is a link for the owners manual with all the specs. http//www.soundstream.com/sub/ownermanual/mc140245.pdf -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. in the battle between money and love money will always triumph i may have to change my signature......on second thought i was right the first time. i have a 99 dodge ram quad cab with the infinity 6 speaker sound system 4 speakers/2 tweeters. the head unit is an am/fm/cd/cass 1.5 din with steering wheel controls. this system has an amp integrated in each front door speaker. the right front door speaker quit working. i swapped the right and left front door speakers and the problem followed the speaker so the hu or wiring is not my problem. i dont want to lay out $187.00 for a speaker to restore a factory sound system. its upgrade time. i want to keep the hu tweeters and rear speakers and replace the front door speakers with some decent aftermarket ones. i know the factory hu wont drive the system without adding an amp but im clueless about amps. i want to keep the cost reasonable for a clean sound quality at a moderate level. ill spend the money where i need to but i dont want to pay extra for a name on the box. new rear speakers and a sub will be added later so expandability is a consideration. any amp and speaker recommendations -- ken .

on tue 23 aug 2005 040213 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote lets forget all the little biy squabling and answer the ops question. the voltage must be checked across the battery posts - pos to neg. if the voltage is within spec under 14.6 with a fully charged battery and the battery still boils the battery is shot. checking from pos to engine or body ground will generally give a higher voltage if the ground is bad. if the wire from the alternator output has high resistance measuring from the alt output t0 ground will give a higher reading than across the battery. no shit and this is what i was saying all along. the voltage however does not have to be measured across the terminals in this case because as your examples have clearly demonstrated the voltage will not be higher at the battery than at these other measurement points and we are looking for an over voltage condition at the battery. as for the battery being shot that possibility has been substantially reduced as the op indicated that this condition is occurring with more than one battery so unless both of them are shot although still a possibility the problem seems to lie elsewhere. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

alright genius how is that going to make any difference. at best the voltage between the battery positive and the engine ground will be higher than at both terminals of the battery while the alternator is working. do you need a lesson on the current path during charging too -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving are you measuring the running-charging-voltage at both battery terminals or between positive and engine ground ok you guys seem to know it all thats not intended as a slight 91 plymouth laser i know dodge truck ng but it is a chrysler product and i do own a dodge truck and well you guys know it all. constant clear liquid around the battery especially around the top vents very corrosive. no the battery does not have a leak battery was three years old exchanged with another three year old battery same thing clear liquid around battery. constantly adding water to the battery. removed regulator from the car set it up on the test bench regulator turns on alternator at 13.8 volts and turns off the alternator field winding at 14.2 volts at about 70 degrees f. battery voltage measured at the alternator/regulator is the same as the voltage measured at the battery. this vehicle uses a separate wire to measure the battery voltage for the regulator tests ok same voltage at either end of the wire. with the car running the measured output voltage of the alternator is 14.2 volts. manual says voltage should be between 13.9 and 14.9 volts question is why am i boiling the batteries. car runs fine starts ok no other problems. .

i got a letter from dodge yesterday saying the front springs in my 2005 ram 3500 are defective and bottom out when they shouldnt. i noticed this on vacation in july while towing my 13000 pound 5th wheeler. although it handles fine or at least i thought it did. anyway its a 3 hour repair and ya gotta notify the dealer first so they can order the spring kit to replace from the manufacture. fyi unless this is old and i missed it the first time around. -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- .
