I swore I would never ask a charging question, but I’m going to anyway.
It has been hot here - 100 degrees on average for the last couple of weeks. I’m haying everything that doesn’t run away. The last two days I have used the 54 Chevy grain truck to haul bales up out of waterways. It is all original (and has been a family member since before I was born). When I fire her up she charges just fine. It goes up to operating temp just fine. If I shut it off when it is really hot or let it idle while I load bales it stops charging. Next day after cool down it is charging again and repeats. Still original generator and regulator. I took the cover off the Delco- Remy regulator yesterday and cleaned off the contact points with emery cloth.
What’s malfunctioning? I’m always away from home and it’s hot as can be or I would jump the field and see if it charges. And honestly, by that point I’m so hot I can’t imagine lifting the hood!
I have a gut feeling it’s the regulator. It has charged an little fluttery sometimes for a year or so now. I’m pretty concerned about getting a good regulator anymore with the luck I have had. The last thing around here that had one got an alternator after trying four Chinese regulators at $50 a pop. I’d like to keep this old girl original, though.
