Alternator's gone bad x 2!

[boostd6.4]

Anyone had their alternators gone bad yet? I have just replaced a total of 4 alts in 18,000 miles under warrenty.

Seems odd!

I wonder if it is due to the faster rev's of teh truck as compared to stock......?

thats beyond odd.. i'm assuming you have the dual alt. set up.

how are the batteries??? a bad battery will kill an alternator quick, check connections and such

I have not had issues with the batteries.... Always stored in a heated garage, no real drain on them... I do have the dual Alternators on the truck.

Thanks for the advise!

Wouldn't hurt to have the batteries tested though if you haven't already. I was sent a defective battery a few months ago for my boat. Blue top optima, dealer said he's seen a couple come back defective from the factory.

There has to be something killing them thats not normal.
