The Diesel alternator harness is a plug in with undersized wiring. Over time
the slide on connectors loose tier fit and with corrosion become fairly high
resistance points. Added to this is the smaller size (~70 amps) of the
alternator so that especially at low speeds, idling you get a low voltage
situation.
