bad alternator! deal with it before you get stranded!  ;-0

I just went through that last week...and the list said it.
I had it chequed and it is bad. I looked at the brushes and
they are shot. I went to the junk-yard and picked up three
regulator/diode/brush assy's from newer alternators, and
will try one of these to seeif it will do the trick. if
not, I also picked up a 80 or 90 amp alternator from
another car(audi or volvo...can't recall..there were so
many) which I may switch into the vanagon housing as the
'80 has a totally different one being air cooled, but not
same as the prev air cooled vans... I'll know in the
morning if it works.
