Alternator quit on the way back to Ontario. It died in Pa and ran on batteries back to Burlington, On.
Luckily I run with 6 Batteries and staring with 12.8 v in Pa I was down to 12.2 v back home. I pulled the Alternator off , Friday night, and on Saturday morning the rebuilder provided me one for $276.85. No change, wtf. Back to the rebuilder, bench tested, it was check Ok, 14volts, 140 amp. He gave me a different one and bench test that 14volts,140 amps. Back on the truck on. Still no charge. Wtf. Temp -7c.
Sunday -14c, so to the shop Monday -16c. Inderdeo Singh, 905 664 7194, $90/hr, We checked everything. F it. Run a new cable from proven source to batteries. Cables off from Starter and Alternator. New Cable from Alternator to Batteries and separate cable to starters. IMPORTANT Point *Have your keys in your Pocket* or you will spend $248 for a locksmith. I did! Wtf! when batteries reconnected doors lock. #### it!
