Looking for advise regarding a higher output Alternator for my Van build on a ‘77 Dodge Sportsman MB300 I’m planning on installing a higher output alternator on my van. The stock alternator is 60A with an external 2 FLD wire electronic voltage regulator. The new alternator that I would like...

I put a new alternator in my van the other day, the battery is now charging but now the revs are super inconsistent and jumpy when it’s idling in park and it eventually stalls. And it stalls as soon as I put it in to drive. I can get it to drive by getting the revs up a bit before I put it in...

Hi everyone, I try to find the amperage of my alternator but impossible to find it... I need to replace them because the bearing is died. I have no A/C, no cruise control, no back defroze. It's double pulley alternator. There is 90 amps and 120 amps. I think it's 90 amps but I am not...

My charger will not charge. I have put two brand new alternators and two batteries into it. Each one tested and should be working. They work individually but the alternator does not charge my battery. Thoughts?

Hi all, I just bought an ‘85 prospector and while trying to change the alternator I found the joy of taking off all 3 belts that the 318 has on her. Once off all three belts (alternator, a/c, and power steering) all looked the same but the parts store keeps giving me belts that claim to fit and...

I have a 2011 dodge nitro with the 3.7. I just replaced what I thought was a bad alternator. After installing the new one i am still not getting a charge. I did drop voltage testing across every point, and everything was fine. When i checked the field wire i found i was getting no power to the...

I understand a traditional battery that is fully charged should be 12.6v I know when the vehicle is running you should have around 14.6 volts. My question is assuming all is working properly and the battery is fully charged, when the engine is running does the field wires sense the battery is...

Hey folks, any help would be appreciated. I've been driving myself crazy with this one. The problem is that the alternator doesn't seem to be energizing. The system reads just the battery's voltage when I check the main lug on the alt while running. The alt is a new reman & it tests fine (14+...

I have a 1997 Grand Caravan V6 3.8L. The charging system is dead. Initially I pulled out the alternator, because it died while I was driving it home at night with the headlights on, and took it to AutoZone to have it tested, it tested good. The next thing I did was take the battery out to...

1997 Ram 1500, 5.9L Brand new alternator and battery. An alternator test done by Autozone sees 12v going into the battery, not the 13.5v they're expecting. We think there's a drain somewhere. Possibly related issue: recently the "maint required" light came on. Checked and there's no error...

(I meant Ammeter... sorry) Hi, We're leaving for our big trip next week so had to do a test drive this weekend. All seems fine except one thing. When I start, the ammeter oscillates quite a lot for about 5-10 minutes. The oscillation is quite large (let's say +3 to -3) at start and it settles...
