alternator

77' FJ40 Had the truck for over a year now and finally beginning to troubleshooting inconsistent headlights/wipers between idle and driving. seems that all signs point to the alternator/voltage regulator. Been chasing the wiring all thru the engine bay and i can't find a voltage regulator...

I am scratching my head. By incident I found out the glow plugs won't turn off and killed my alternator. Once replaced I felt the wire to the battery were hot! The car is 1985 HJ75 Troopy with 2H motor. Anyone had similar experience? I am just starting to read about the system including the...

Hello all! I’m looking for an alternator for my bj62 in the greater vancouver area. Any help is appreciated! Cheers!

Does anyone know how much current the OEM alternator can provide while the LX is idling? I'm wanting to use a DC/DC charger to charge a trailer while the LX is idling in camp (as an alternative to a portable generator), and am wondering how much current I can realistically count on. // edit -...

Figured I would share this for giggles and for anyone curious about alternator rebuilding. Last summer my high output alternator roasted a bearing so I swapped it out with an OEM that I had kept in storage for many years to use as a backup. Well I suspect the sub zero temps we had a couple...

BJ 42 is a 1979. PO did a PAINLESS wiring harness install. Can anyone tell me what these three cut wires used to do that are leading in to the alternator bundle?

Hey all, I've seen posts about alternator replacement for my 91 Landcruiser but nothing in-depth. Before suggesting that it might be something else, I've already tested it, and it's definitely the alternator. So my questions are: 1. Are there any good YouTube videos/step-by-step articles, etc...

Okay here's my puzzle: 1989 62 series with a 3B, 12V system. I had a sh*t terminal connector on my main battery, and on the occasional start, always after glowing, the power would shut off completely when I turned the key. I would tighten or wiggle the terminal, and she'd start right up. I...

Found one, mods can delete thanks

Does anyone know the size and thread of the alternator pivot bolt nut? The bolt has a 17 mm head and I'd rather not pull it out to match it up as will be easier just to buy the proper sized nut. TIA

One of my daily drivers is a 1993 Series 80, fitted with a 1 HD-T diesel by Dave Martin in MT. I notice that when at idle, for example sitting at a light, the charge voltage dips when the engine idles down. Revving it a little makes the headlights brighter. Does anyone know of a high-output...

Hi Everyone, did the regular searchin around, found the voltage regulator thread. couldnt find my answer and no one responded when I posted in that tthread so Ill try here. 82 hj47 troopy previously had adjusted my "tab" in the VR with sucsess to acheive 14.2 at 2000rpm. over about a2 months...

My 100 wouldn’t start on a cold morning this week. I jumped battery and it started. I replaced the battery with a Duralast Gold 27. The last two times I’ve driven it, a major vibration/shaking develops when I was at a stop light, and right after pulling into a parking spot. It went away...

My HJ61 12HT has some questionable wiring done to it in the past, but has been very reliable until recently. I don't have a multimeter yet, so I haven't taken readings of anything, just getting advice. In the past 2 months on road trips the voltmeter on the dash will sit steady at 24V (middle)...

I have a 1994 FZJ80. I recently replaced the alternator with an Denso replacement from @cruiseroutfit. Still was having issues with a dead battery on occasion. I replaced the fusible link and installed a new battery tonight. I had the old one tested and it had gone bad. I had them test the...

I have what I believe to be the original alternator from my '72 FJ40 and I plan to install a Sniper. The alternator was rebuilt and I'd really like to use it in the build. I've read conflicting information regarding the amperage output required for the Sniper. Some say the OE alternator with a ~...

Battery light came on and you can see the volt guage dropping on the dash with the car running. Voltmeter reads 10V at the battery with engine running. 11-12 volts with engine off. Turning headlights on will stall the motor. I have to use a jump pack to move the car from lot to lot. Does not...

I upgraded the factory alternator to a higher amperage unit to support, among other things we want to do, charging a travel trailer under tow. In another thread titled "Trailer Power" https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/trailer-power.1317688/ we were talking about powering a travel trailer from...

Hey Everyone, First time posting so quick intro....I have an 02 LC with 209k miles. No major modifications, just larger BFGs and had spacers in there but one broke so I just went back to stock. I do some work myself(heater Ts, radiator, AC drain reroute, thermostat housing reseal and O ring...

Two months ago the alternator in my parents’ 1999 started making a weird whirring/moaning noise, and about two days later stopped charging. Replaced it with a reman unit from my local dealer. This week that unit started making the exact same noise. It’s still charging at the moment but the...
