[QUOTE="mc71, post: 8382934, member: 664923"] I'm really curious if anyone thinks the difference in the Singer build would cure the spike if the problem is: Ford's PCM's don't play nice with aftermarket alts. Singer wrote me "I show your stock alt to be pcm controlled so I assume mechman made you one that is self exciting (does not use the stock plug?) Typically the one wire regulators are known for that. I offer 6 phase options in a direct bolt in design for your application". I listed the basic specs he gave me in the OP. I don't know a lot about what they'd mean, but he explained "Basically this means everything in the alternator is doubled up (it is built on the concept of two alternators inside of one case)". Would that prevent spiking if the cause is Ford's PCM's just don't like aftermarket alts? [/QUOTE]
