HZJ75 Alternator problems

[jackgolg]

Hi all,
I’ve been having issues with my alternator (reconditioned when fitted) not putting out any more the 6 amps. This has been a problem since the engine was swapped around a year ago. Is there anything easy I could have looked over when putting it back together?

TIA
Jack

6 amps or 6 volts?

if you have the equipment to measure output amps, you probably wouldn't be asking here. 8^)

need to know a litte more about your truck before i go on.

12 volt system (1 battery) or 24 volt system (2 batteries). or, what is the range on the voltage meter on the dash?

6 VOLTS? Where are you measuring that from? Need more info about the recon alt. Did you have it done, or the previous owner? My auto electrician said he had stopped rebuilding them because of reliability issues. He said it was better to just replace them with a quality aftermarket alt.
