Here is what I have found. My alternator seems to be acting the way a modded alternator should. It needs RPMs to keep 14v. Even with the fan not on, at 300-500ish RPMs it's not cracking 12.something volts. Without the fan running I bump the RPM up to 1k and my voltage climbs to around 14v. If I have the fan on and RPM at idle (300-500) I can watch my battery voltage drop. In a couple of minutes it went from 12v down to 11.8ish. With the fan on I need RPMs at 1-1.5k in order to see 14v on my DMM.
What is curious is that it did not behave this way before I needed to repair the wiring, but I guess that's just how things go.
I'll need to start planning for something different with my fan and charging system. With a TMIC I'm very limited on alternators. Before adding the efan I had an FD alt and that barely fit under my TMIC. With it squeezed under there the TMIC was making too much contact with the hood. I'd love to do a Taurus alt, but I'm quite sure that's not going to fit. I may have to start planning for a FMIC.
