Well 76/2000 is now my daily driver and is making 140 mile daily round trips. I recently got an ebay vented carbon fiber hood and everytime it rains something goes wrong. The first time, I lost my A/C functionality for a day.
Now at the end of my commute, I can hear my rewired walbro fuel pump whining away wildly.
My parking brake light is now flickering when I have the brake up as do all exterior lights. I checked the voltage across the battery terminals and it is varies wildly between 14.6-14.8 VDC at idle. I checked another one of my vehicles and the voltage is rock solid.
I am guessing that the alternator is toast. I can't afford to keep replacing components because water is getting in the engine bay. Every thread that I have read about vented CF hoods describe the worst thing that happens due to water is a squeaking belt and if that then just for a second.
My exhaust manifold heat shield is getting surface rust already so to me it is a sure sign that there is definitely a fair amount of water getting in.
Please no pms about trying to sell me an alternator a hood or any other parts.
I can't afford to replace my alternator every week. Any ideas?
Thanks
