I have a question! During hot summer days in the middle east the car starts to overheat 108-111C when i use the AC on max even if it is night, but i tried put ac on 1 only! And it did work! 3hrs on a hot day with temp below 95C which is great!.. When it overheats i notice the voltage drops from 13.4 to 12.5.. Is oveaheating related to low voltage?

Great videos! Nice find and fix in this one. Looks like this is the same truck where you serviced the battery and replaced the alternator in prior videos. When that alternator was tested in the prior video you tested directly on the battery posts, which made it look like the alternator was bad. Maybe the alternator wasn't bad after all? In this video you solved that connection issue at the battery terminal, so do you have second thoughts about previously replacing the alternator?

Good eye! Yes I ended up taking the new alternator out and trying the original and with the cleaned terminal the old one was just fine.

I have a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan with a brand new alternator but when I disconnect the hot battery terminal it completely dies. I have a MaxiCOM reader that I plugged into it while I was driving it and it gave me 13.7 but when I stop and it's idling and remove the hot wire terminal the car dies completely. What do you think the problem could be?
