David, Check the brushes but more likely if the alternator is as old as the van it could be a bearing and perhaps the rear alternator bearing. gary Date: Sun, 4 May 2003 02:31:35 EDT From: David Cooper <Zcoop1@AOL.COM> Subject: charging problems 82 Westy My 82 Westy is having charging problems. I took the alternator out and had it tested and it tested fine. I put it back in the van and it intermittently charges. Any suggestions? Coop
