Maybe look at your battery. The alternator is a battery maintainer, not a charger. Have you checked voltage drop across your wires? You may be inadvertently forcing the alternator to work harder than it should.

Give this thread a read in regards to the Saturn alt, no relocation is needed, but a bit of grinding is needed to be done to make it fit in the stock location. Some people need to grind the block and alt, I was able to just grind a tiny bit on the block to get it to work (full tension range with stock belt, stock 7bolt motor that came with the '99 eclipse). http://www.ca.dsm.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=47237&Number=344308#Post344308I would be inclined to agree with Ryan, as 'bad' as the stock alt is, you shouldn't be going through this many with just heat. If voltage doesn't give any definite answer, you might want to try to get your hands on an ammeter and hook it in series with your battery to alt cable and see how much is being flown along the wire, vary RPMs and just see what the alt is actually doing.

I`m installing the Saturn Alternator (from Ziggy) into a 95 talon, The jay racing Pigtail has only 3 colours: (red, black, and brown) the stock harness has: (white, red, black with yellow, and green) most the articles I read are for 99 with different colours which wires do I match with the Pigtail harnesses ( Pigtail ) thanks
