Excessive Ripple
Very Common problem for alternators, they are reffering to excessive diode ripple which is when the diode trio inside the alternator malfunctions. The diode Trio converts a/c (produced by the alt. ) to d/c and when it fails the Alt. is trying to charge your d/c battery with a/c. I run into it all the time, I will try to post a procedure tomorrow, Remember: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FIRST!!!!
Reman (rebuilt) is fine I use them all the time and you can get a lifetime warranty on them. get one from Napa, DO NOT BUY AUTOLITE. my buddy is on his 6th autolite in 4 months on his 97 s10 4.3 2wd (good thing he got the warranty huh?)
