Re: winstar alternator?

thanks. mine is a 3.8 as well. there was a ground wire which seemed to be broken off from a small black block attached to the altenator. Am I safe in assuming this lack of a ground has caused my problem? I am going to have the alternator tested tomorrow . your thoughts?

I probably could have done it myself, but it was easier with two people. Plus, she loves to get her hands dirty Took me about 30 minutes.
