Re: alternator problems on my diesel 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Robert Ludwick on  Tue Sep 25 19:36 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Do you have a small ground wire going from the little stud on the alternator housing to the block?

At one point I noticed the alternator on my '84 diesel reading at battery voltage and I read somewhere that the housing needed to be grounded (I imagine because the rubber bushings? ) anyway I put a 10 ga wire from the stud on the housing to an available bolt on the block and the output picked right up.
