[QUOTE="Joe_Kool315, post: 12515309, member: 142190"] I was going to ask if you had the Diode pack rebuilt at the same time. "typically" that's what goes bad on the average Alternator over bad winding/bearing/brushes (other "typical" wear items) MOST "bad" alternators just need the diode pack (voltage regulator) replaced/rebuilt. If you had the Alternator rebuilt by someone in the know ... I wonder if they didn't do this as part of the rebuild,if it's rebuildable. It could just be a module and you have to replace the whole module if it's a PCM controlled item like mentioned above. The old diode packs/regulators were esentially 4 diodes in a diode bridge and a resistor/group of resistors to level out the A/C current generated by the alternator into a nice "clean" DC voltage.
