Guys im going to try to make this short out of a looooooooooong story. last night, after whooping a 89 5.0 rustang twice, something happened that i thought would not. after leaving the races, i saw my anti lock brake light started to go on, then go off... about 3 or 4 times. then the message "check charging system" came up. after a few more feet everything started to shutdown, radio,climate control, rpms dropped, panel light dimmed, you get the picture. pulled over had a few buddies with me, we tried jumping the my car it would start up for a few but it losses the charge. i just replaced my alternator with a cobra 160amp, my battery is an optima 980 cca (red top). which is right now being charged at autozone but they said it is still good. im guessing alternator? i disconnected my system from the battery terminal thinking it is draining power from the battery. no luck!! then disconnected my remote start/alarm, no luck either. i still have my orignal alternator which is fine, so when i get the battery back im going to swap them out. if this does not work for me, can anyone tell me what else it could be? only performance stuff i did was an SCT chip about alil over a month ago. any, and i mean any ideas would be greatly appreicated. thanks guys!
