OK, The rest of the story

After the Alternator light came on, I did some checking, got some info fowarded to me from the Vanagon List -- Thanks Everyone!!!!

And,

Then took the van plus a spare alternator to Advance Auto Parts. They check Beck/Arnly in the van. It was dead. They checked the extra Alt. I had - it was good.

I had a "known good" regulator and tried it first on the Beck/Arnly. Nothing.

I removed the Beck/Arnely and installed the Bosch and it rand and charged just fine.

Problem solved.

So - now I have three Vans and only one working alternator between the. I've got some work to do.
