George, that makes sense, and I have to say, I am far from having the knowledge & experience you have, my knowledge comes from hard knocks!

Your comment about the 10si at 140 is well taken, and you warned me about the one I had, which to no surprise took a dump in short order! I'm still in the same boat, need an alt that will last, and am looking to a new OE replacement, with around a 100-140 rating. Suggestions?

A cap on the fan, actually had a conversation with someone regarding, and basically said the same thing. He also mentioned that if you depleat the cap, and the current is still high from load, that you can cook the cap pretty quick. So, the idea of a cap on the fans isn't a good one!
