My alternator is going bad..I think. When I first purchased it would surge between green and red on gauge. I adjusted the regulator so when it wasn't surging or showing overcharge the needle sat right on the line in the green. Sometimes it would get stuck "Overcharging" and I would turn the engine off and restart. Now, I've driven the Hmmve maybe 5000 miles and now the needle will show a charge in yellow most of the time and sometimes it will show a proper charge. The surging appears to have gone away. I haven't checked voltage with meter or checked batteries as of yet. Currently it spins over fast when cranking and all lights burn bright.
When purchased the PO said it needs alternator work and I am ready to get it sorted. I checked with local alternator shop and they said they could rebuild but there were no parts available. Steel Soldier search didn't mention much about rebuild but did mention a delco 21si as a replacement.
Does anyone know a company that sells rebuild kits? Is the delco alternator a good option or just something that "can" be done. I don't have any plans for accessories that a 60amp alternator couldn't handle with ease.
