[QUOTE="Gearhead, post: 907605, member: 503"] What runs this thing? Is it PCM controlled? I notice that on initial startup the alternator only puts out 70 amps and the batteries are at 11.5 volts, then the exciter wire jumps up then the amperage output will jump to 100 and the voltage jumps to 14 as soon as it does. I don't have a wiring diagram handy at the moment. Has anyone simply put the exciter wire to a switched ignition source? [/QUOTE]
