Re:engine noise at high RPM
thanx, but i already understand how most of that stuff works. I just didn't think that when the alternator pulley was spinning faster it necessarily means that the alternator is "working harder." It may be spinning faster, but I didn't quite think that was the same thing. If the battery needs to be charged, I figured the alternator would work just as hard no matter what the engine speed.
Oh and thanx for the detailed explanation, Teal Terror, that's just the kind of tech info I was looking for. Now I can go impress all my friends, and be the coolest kid in school! |
Re:engine noise at high RPM
im not givig you ----, when your battery is low, alternators will whine, and whine louder at high rpm. it does it on my crx if i leave the lights on, and i put a alt in my friends ram/charger and it whines all the time :)
