Default Re: Need Help... Alternator Nightmare

I agree. I want this figured out before the summer months arrive. All I know is that if I turn my AC on my temp gauge goes all the way to Hot. If I leave it alone it stays fine.

What do u think?

You may not be running too hot now, but it is still in the winter months and once summer comes you may have some more serious temps to deal with.

Also, if the dealer told you that the engine is running +400F from normal operating temperature...I might think about going to another dealer, because honestly. That isn't possible without making the engine go all sorts of not right.
