Thanks for the response Ryan.
I did finally hear back from Tuffstuff and they took great care of me. I was running out of time before my next all day autcross event and only had about 1 week and needed to ship my Alternator back to Tuffstuff, have it tested and possibly rebuilt plus get it back in my hands and they made it happen. Indeed my alternator was defective and they did a full rebuild and it has since worked better than it did new. I used to see a voltage drop at idle which would result in noticeably dimmer headlights and slower blinker speeds etc. That is all gone now and it charges right at 14 volts and has so far survived the heat of multiple track days one with temps nearing 100* outside.
Bud can be tough to get a hold of at Tuff Stuff and isn't much for communication. I hadn't heard from them after shipping the alternator and called to see what they thought and found out it had already been rebuilt and was due to be deliverd within 1 or two days. But he has taken care of me and so I give them a big thumbs up.
