dmjlambert brings up a potential problem, my radiator fans get power directly from the + post on the battery...
@ sunsoaked - yes, but I was really hoping to avoid paying 250-350 for an alternator. There must be a middle ground?
By the way, I don't believe I have an idiot light.
I found a video on u-tube. Looks dangerously easy. This can't be the best way.

Seems like a bigger hot wire to the alternator and a splice at the voltage regulator is all this guy needed (that and switching pulleys on the alternator).
It's not this easy, is it?
