so my car did the same **** as it was doing last time only this time i noticed my battery gauge thingy was on the red it was always low but not that low and all my lights were dim, the wipers were going slow and my gauges were all over the place. it was sputtering and all that good stuff. ive been trying to figure out what it was, thought it was the fuel pump a few weeks ago, but now im pretty sure its the alternator.

just want to double check before i go get it tomorrow after school somehow(its about a mile away) and buy a new alternator.

and is there a certain alternator i should get, i figure ill hook up an electric fan on the radiator and put a cowl on while im at it, and ill be powering a 2000watt amp too.

when i had my 800watt amp in before i fried it my lights would dim when it bumped, thought it was pretty funny.

Get a 3G alternator for a '95 Mustang GT. Youll need to get some wiring for it at a junkyard though.

i couldnt just get some wires from an auto store or something?

oh and what kind of electric fan should i get, ill just do it all at once and save myself some trouble

so the 89 93 mustangs had the 2g and the 94 95 mustangs had the 3g right?

and it said "3. Clearance the alternator bracket by cutting/grinding away the marked area with a die cutter or dremel."

i have no way to cut the alternator bracket is that going to be a problem?

i got my 1000watt amp powered off of a stock alternator, just a better battery i think.. i can run the stereo by itself for like 1-2 hours at least and then get in and it cranks over without hesitation......but maybe if your gonna be runnning that much wattage u might wanna do the 3G

You wanna play you gotta pay....you'll get what you pay for with a 40 dollar one... no warranty and that could crap out on you at any moment
