Took a 3 hour drive to Knoxville today. I watched the volt gauge. Seemed to be irratic. Hung at 11.4. But would jump to 13.5 for a short time them back to. 11.4. G lite was not on during the drive. After a short stop the re start is when the lite stayed on. Guage still at 11.4. I gotta get home.
Auto zone has a voltage reg. Is this a typical symptom of the easy to replace VR? |

at this point I think I am putting this one in a box and sticking it under the house. It has been rebuilt 3 times since 2013.
I have another one that was rebuilt at the same time this one was. And I found another rusty one in the garage today. I have been spending time online trying to find a 79 bus ALT. AL108X is 70amps. They were only used on certain campers with a gas heater and a couple fans, so they are not easy to find. During that research, I read where Ratwell says an original ALT should go for 200k and a decent rebuild should make it 100k. |
