[V8] Q Re Voltage & Alternator

[Korn, Bob]

Not sure if it is brushes or regulator, I would suspect regulator.  Mine
puts out a consistent 3.8 or 3.9 volts, via climate control readout.  I just
replaced the regulator/brushes assembly on mine. Easy job, part can be found
in most local auto parts houses.

Subject: [V8] Q Re Voltage & Alternator


My alternator voltage output is right around 13.0 volts at all RPM's.  It's 
not enough
to keep the battery charged fully, but after a few days, looses enough
charge 
to not
start the car.  Anyone ever experience this problem?  I'd think if my 
alternator brushes
were worn I'd see a fluctuation in voltage with RPM.  Could this be a
symptom 
of a
defective regulator?  Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
