As I’m pondering the problem. I put the rebuilt #2 alt in a couple of days before Thanksgiving (Tuesday), then changed the starter (Sunday) noticed this light situation yesterday. Starter was a pretty straight forward out with old/in with new. I most likely didn’t rev the motor and definitely...

“Nope, it's not OCD, it's a real problem.” - so a piece of duct tape cut round and put over the light might not be a good “repair”?

I’ll research it this evening. I’ve done many projects (1 year ready to drive) / and I’m there now - Thanks -R

I’ll probably swap alternators, but will check the relay - where is it?

I minimized the winking of the light by loosing the belt until it was not charging and then tightening just enough to get it working. At this point I’m not 100% sure if it’s a problem or my ocd….

No

I did pull an old capacitor off if the back of this alternator- any chance that plays in?

Yep new belts, batteries, starter (just for grins).

Both alternators rebuilt When engine is revved or even driven at 55mph the #2 alternator idiot light flashes Gauge good gauge on battery good -I had someone watch it while it revved/made the light flash First time it happened I tighten the belt, second time tighten it a little more. Upon turn...

It does increase with run time - I’ll keep checking. Fingers crossed it’s not wiring.

I was looking at that exact one - kinda pricey for my “truck budget”, but I’ll probable get it. Have you had a chance to hook yours up? I would love a real world review before I spend the $’s.

I just tested with my Harbor Freight battery load tester. The #1 was rebuilt 3-4 months ago, #2 rebuilt 2-3 days ago. The number one seems to move the needle after the truck has been running for a while. Hopefully unrelated (but I didn’t think to notice the timing), I did get the high idle/ip...

I had this made in the USA oem alternator rebuilt - do I need to get a new capacitor for it?

No, I’m going to get the original rebuilt - but wanted it running. I used this same alternator when I had #1 rebuilt. I’m going to do the same thing with the starter. I’ll install an after market starter while I get the original rebuilt. I prefer rebuilt originals.

Thanks - still 24v. I must have attached the wires correctly. All was working well after I installed the new alternator. I’ll get the original rebuilt and reinstalled.

I wonder what these were originally for..?

Wait - this big red wire must be the ground.

What is this - this alternator doesn’t have a ground to the case. Does this replace the ground? I’m putting in an aftermarket until tomorrow get this one rebuilt - should I run a ground wire?

It seems these can also be had- solar powered.

The questionable battery is on the charger (at home now) I will disconnect and check tomorrow. Hopefully it was the problem.
