I've had much better luck with gennies than alterantors over the years. Counting personal vehicles and farm tractors I've had to have a couple gennies rebuilt and purchased a couple regs.. all for less than the price of any alternator I've ever purchased. I've driven gm trucks, ford trucks and dodge trucks that have all had their oem alternator repalced once, and had a gm car that got alternators atout as often as tires. My wifes lincoln is also on it's 3rd alternator ( about a 300$ unit I might add.. luckilly one of them was a parts warranty though i had to still pay labor..for the changeout. ) I think I'll still take a generator on an old piece of equipment most of the time where enormouse power generation isn't necescary. As long as the brushes and 'copper' are good int he gen.. yo can still get home even if the regulator dies, with a bit of creative wireing .. I'm not sure there are many 'field' fixes i could do on an alternator without having a bench, box of tools and correct parts for that application.. however a coat hanger and an ignition resistor will work in place of an external regualtor in a pinch. In any event, i think it's safe to say that there was a bit of misunderstanding when dealing with the scope of the reply JH made and my reply to him. Soundguy
