I took mine and 1 other unknown spare for testing today.

I hoped they would get them tested today, but not to be. I'll have to wait.

Rebuilder said the brushes were worn down enough to cause my intermittent problem. Some in appropriate touching.

I had him rebuild both ALTs. $58 each and now i have a spare.

I wish i knew if my other guy had installed new brushes. Cause it only had 20k miles on it. Would brushes go that quickly? I'll install one Thursday and update.

3.5 hours and the rebuilt alt is in. No heat exchanger yet, but i had to start it and see.

Key on,
light on,
key to start,
engine starts,
light goes off,
VDO volt meter moves to 13.

Did not run long. Pretty loud with only 1/2 an exhaust.
Done for the night. Ready to drive this weekend.
