24v Alternator Update.
BRAE said my voltage regulator was roasted and so they built a plug-and-play wiring harness for a new one that would just click into my alternator. Basically dummy proofed it because me not so smart.
Since I've had to warranty the Napa brand batteries that were in the truck recently and the manufacturer changed the name inbetween warranties, I had two different looking batteries as well.
BRAE said to make sure my batteries were exactly the same, so I decided the two in the 74 were going to become my camping trailer batteries and I picked up two new batteries on the way home.
Hooked everything back up...
And it apparently is doing what it's supposed to be doing . 28.4volts.
FYI:. BRAE did say that if the diode pack or stator do go eventually, it would be either months or maybe impossible to repair my Alternator. Not sure if it's that different than what other folks on here have in their rigs, but they were glad it didn't need a rebuild. Apparently not as possible as they first thought. So yeah, cross your fingers folks and if you can find a good used one then buy it, cause there ain't too many other options out there apparently.
Anyways, the insurance plates are back on it so tomorrow it gets to see pavement again.
Cheerio folks!
