Perhaps the o-ring wandered, I'm wondering

[Ok3skid1]

who knows i ordered a ring and gasket for the water pump

[steve]

I've found corrosion on the waterpipe where the o-ring goes when I change the pumps on all my cars. I make a point of cleaning them up with a scotchguard pad before putting the new o-ring on and lubricate it with antifreeze before installing the pump so it slips easily into the pump.

ok here i am again with more problems! My car runs and drives but it runs like some serious doo doo!!! My alternator was fuzzed when we got it running. started smoking real bad. so i replaced it with brand new altima. Not a cheap alternator. So i get it installed and still no charge. I checked all my cables running to the battery to the alternator. I only found 2 grounds. the battery ground and the ground to the starter. The battery ground was loose so i tightened it up and i saw a big diff. in charge. I held 13 volts constant over 1 day period. The next day it showed 11 and slowly decreased overtime.

Thats my biggest issue so far but other then that i have a boost leak on the rear turbo pipe that needs to be fixed.

Any suggestions on the alternator issue?

Have you check the alternator fuses yet? There is the main 120A fusible link #1 bolted down in the main fusebox and the 15A #11 in the junction box that provides the starting current for the field initally.

[Ok3skid1]

yes fuses have been checked. i did replace the 120 amp fuse that was bolted but not sure about the other one. ill let you know what i find out

Get out your voltmeter and check the voltage at the battery and at the B+ stud on the alternator.
At idle you should see at least 13.6v if the alternator is charging. If you see that at the battery it should be working, if you don't check the alternator stud to make sure the wiring and fuse are good.
