Re: [DML] Alternator blues

Tim, Before you feel to bad about the alternator. Be sure the dash light 
battery bulb is working. If it isn't the alternator will not excite the 
regulator. Be sure to replace it with a #161 bulb only. It has the right 
resistance. Make sure the wires are plugged in good and all is well. Any 
charging to the battery has to be above battery voltage which is 12.66. If 
you alternator isn't putting out that, then the battery will run down.
Keep in mind if you have the original alternator, it's old.

Alternators are in stock

<< I purchased an Alternator one year ago and it is only producing 11.8 
volts. I got stranded when the battery gave way (by the way new 
battery with 900 CCA). Is this an alternator problem or could this 
be something else? I am thinking that the alternator needs to put 
out 13plus volts to recharge the battery.

Also, my rear view mirror fell off after 21 years of service. It 
appears to have industrial double stick tape. Does any one know 
where to get this type of tape.

How hard is it to get the drivers side window back on track. The 
window will also completely close but gets stuck with about 1/3 of an 
inch to go. Not to the top, but the flat rear side toward the rear of 
the window casing.
