    May not need an alternator. The bad battery may be the cause of the 15.4 number. Better to replace all of your batteries as a set.

    We have awakened to find the 10 hour rest portion of the DOT requirement fulfilled.

    They have a feral at this The Love's.

    I gave him a can of The OM's chow.

    The feral is pleased.

    Voltage regulator is part of the alternator??? You can't break them apart?

    I'll start with a battery. I'll see what three batteries do. Battery will be Saturday.

    Yes, you can replace the regulator. It does not require full disassembly of the alternator. Usually only removing the rear cover, 2 bolts, then 4 screws for the regulator. Have done a few where I did not even take it off the engine. YouTube probably has a bunch of videos on this.

    14.2 is the appropriate charge value. Tho most vehicles normally only run around 13.6 volts.

    There is no hope.

    Lady at Riceland, “How much weight do you want?”
    Me “25.50 tons”
    Lady “Sir, we do pounds here.”
    Me “51000.”
    Her “51000 what?”
    Me “Either load the wagon or not.”
    Her “Sir, you need to calm down, I have to know how much to load you with.”
    Me “12 ton in the front 13 in the back, just 25 ton now, cause you gonna F it up anyway.”

    We are now under the spout.
    Lady, “You can be there by 3 pm, 330 miles away, right?”
    Me “My unload appt is 0900 tomorrow morning.”
    Her “ The other truck broke down, we’re giving you his spot.”
    Me “Whatever, I got text showing my time, I can prove it was changed, if they refuse it, I’ll get paid full rate to bring it back.”
