Real experiences from 2020 FORD Mustang owners
“They created electrical noise that messed with the sine wave of the DC voltage and confused the PCM , thus it threw the code. An alternator can charge just fine but still have a failing rectifier.”View original

“These seem pretty plausible as I can see a slack chain getting out of time with a hard rev followed by a quick slack. Parts don't seem horrifically expensive and the labor seems doable, though time consuming.”View original
