Sounds good. If its just a belt issue i can work with it.

Excellent, I will give it a try, however the belt is pretty worn down and may not even grip well anymore. However, suppose I would want to change the power steering and AC Belt. To get the fan off, does it require a special clutch fan tool? . Also could the pulleys seizing be a possibility...

I'll post a video tommorow on youtube showing what happens when i run the vehicle, hopefully that'll help :)

Thanks for the info! But just a question, can i access it from above or below the vehicle? Also does the clutch fan need to removed to tighten the belt? I think the belt is pretty worn, that should be changed anyway ig?

So an update here on the issue. My battery and alternator both tested bad, so i got kal tire to swap my battery under warranty, and partsource to replace the alternator... Well, i installed everything and things didnt work as expected :/ In fact, i think i FINALLY figured out why the previous...

Yup my olds delta 88 is like that, ill post a pic of it in a sec.

I agree, and this is coming from a computer tech. Too much automation :(

Symptoms of e-commerce unfortunately.. (That and bad service, at least here in canada *cough* pensions *cough*)

If its not your belts, its the alt, my oldsmobile has been giving me charging problems lately, and one of the replacement alts i tried did exactly what your did, go get it tested for free at partsource cause chances are its shot.

Hahah that had me cracking up pretty good, i had no idea out here in canada people were gutting regals to be pedaled LMAO *falls off chair laughing*

This is true, but if this battery is bad, its definitely in the beginning stages, because it charges fine on a trickle charger. But ill double check the readings again, i dont have a difference now with the positive battery cable bypass, but with the wiring harness there was a .2 difference for...

Thanks everyone for your contributions so far, the alternator was indeed bad according to partsource! I'll most likely be getting a remanned alt from partsource (friday is payday :D), and i will have that tested before bringing it home. Junkyard is refunding me too. Also will be bringing the...

:( Shitty. Glad to know though! Will be getting my battery tested this week too. Also, the alt tested bad at partsource today! I had a feeling it was a POS. Got another alt under warranty from the junkyard, the guy who there said if this 3rd one dont work he'll just refund me, would have...

Awesome! Sounds like you're doing ok then!

Sadly its not. The original alternator and 1st one i swapped in, so far have not outputted more than 12.8 volts max. The 2nd one i installed over the weekend only outputs 11.90v, and oddly keeps the charge light on with the motor running, while the other two did not. A bad battery is possible...

It's possible its shot, but i've always used a trickle charger on it when its not be used by the vehicle, and that charges it ok. I can call AMA (think its called AAA out in the US) and have them test the battery im sure.

Its brand new, so it should be ok. I havent used the amperage functions of it either yet so the fuse inside the meter should be fine as well.

Your ping is OK. Its not the most stable, because i see it does fluctuate to 67 which is quite the jump. But yes you can get by on it.

Another thing you can try is pinging a webpage and seeing how much of a delay you have in terms of a response. This is a screenshot i took just now pinging google. Your response times (ms) should match or be very similar to mine.
