Hello all,
After installing the 2.6L mammoth KB kit on the Roush, I started having issues with the charging system. I've already had to replace one alternator, and I'm starting to wonder how long the new one is going to last. The only thing that I can figure is that this is happening due to the alternator spinning backwards. Even though it will still charge in either direction, I believe that it may be overheating due to the fan inside the alternator is spinning backwards, thus not cooling the alternator, and quickly frying it. Has anyone else had charging issues with their KB supercharger? Does anyone know if there is a aftermarket fan to correct the issue?
Thanks guys. All opinions are appreciated.
