Re: do brakes suck fuel?	Wed, 16 June 2004 14:32

These are some really interesting replies, thanks guys! So how does an alternator work exactly? It sounds like what you guys are saying is that something in the alternator creates a physical resistance so the crankshaft has to do more work to produce more current. Does that mean it doesn't always produce maximum current? I'm trying to understand why it affects my idle speed and not the other way round - why doesn't my idle speed stay the same and have the brake lights dim/fail when there is less current?
