Around here sometimes you get lucky and brand new high amp Delco alternators are like brake chambers. You walk in a dealer or truck parts house and the have pallets of them stacked on the floor selling for flea market prices. Lol ! Last one I got was a 180 amp for $80 at Rush Pete about 6 years ago. French-Ellison Kw had same deal and price a couple years ago when I was there getting something else. Thought about buying a spare one for my shelf but didn’t.
Whats a good voltmeter to get?

At those prices I would buy a spare. The one parts house I know is off all next week and can’t get it until the 14th. Most places are on a 3 day weekend starting today. I’ll start looking Monday

Ok changing the alternator....Unhook the batteries first right? Then take the cables off the alternator?

Another thought is that unless you have a battery powered apu,I don’t see why you can’t get by with a 150ish amp alternator.nikmirbre Thanks this. -
God prefers Diesels and nikmirbre Thank this.

I thought that. But it being a glider I prefer to go with what was on there. Ive got a Fridge and plenty of chicken lights that's about it. The parts house had one that was 170.062 Thanks this. -
nikmirbre Thanks this.

Of course with it being a holiday weekend I couldn't find one. Finally found one this morning for $425......
