when i turn on my heater/ac fans to 2,3 or 4 my vacuum drops about 1~2 in. hg. Also, since i've installed my electric fans, ive never seen the vacuum I used too. when i switch them to high it's even worse. only thing i could think of is they make alternator need to produce more making more of a load on the engine. any way to fix this, or is this unheard of?

its probably because when you switch those things on tha idle drops due to the extra load on the system, might be time for a more powerful Alternator,or have that one tested.
