My 2005 excursion has an alternator that is getting extremely hot. It kills itself. Had to replace 2 one year old batteries last week because they were dead. Ran it all weekend then while driving it systems started shutting down. Radio and gauges. Replaced alternator, it got hot and killed itself. Got another one and its getting extremely hot as well but shutting it off before it kills itself.
Is there a fuse I can check? All wires, grounds, and belt tension is good.

I have a Ford document on my computer at home for a dual alt conversion I can send you but to be honest, I can't remember if it's "from" or "to" the dual set-up.
I keep seeing the title of this thread and thinking-
Alternator very hot!!,,,And the power steering pump ain't half bad either!
(Sorry, Stoopid I know

Just took a 15 minute drive. When I got home, the alternator was 170 degrees (too hot to hold my hand on). I know it would have been even hotter on a longer drive and on a hotter day. That said, my alternator has been reliable for a good long time. IMO a hot alternator (too hot to touch) is not uncommon and not necessarily an issue (obviously it depends on how hot it gets).
