Just checked. It is a Denso. Thanks again

Thank you for the video and links. I have not gotten to watch the video yet so excuse me if it's answered in there. Do those kits come with the diodes and all parts needed? I've been real busy but will look at video and links tonight

I will check to see if it's a Denso. It's possible. I bought a Napa one that worked for a while then started to have issues. Then rebuilt the old one but had no luck with the issue. That is the one in there now. What does the kit cost? At this point I'll try that because I don't feel that I'll get anywhere with this place. It also blows my mind how's it's so intermittent.

Who out there has a reliable alternator rebuilder who has dealt with this issue and understands it? I'll just flat rate ship the thing out to get rebuilt. I don't trust this local guy and want to resolve the issue.

Definitely attempting to not spend big money. I will check myself for ac noise this weekend and have batteries tested. The issue hasn't happened for about a day and a half so far so it makes it tough to track down the issue. The volt meter I have is one of the cheaper ones. I'll watch the video on how to check for the noise. Then I can attempt to have the alternator redone again. They rebuilt it about 3 or 4 months ago

I'm going to attempt talking to them again. The first time didn't go so well and everyone thinks I'm crazy. I had them rebuild the alternator and replace everything but the problem came back. Dodge has a new one for 260. Would I be better off going with the factory one or is the possibly of getting a bad one still common?

Thanks for the recommendation on the meter. I am not really electronically inclined at all. I've checked all grounds as far as I know and cleaned battery terminals. I'm going to be fooling around with the grounds again and see if I can find anything else. The batteries will be tested this weekend. The way it's been starting may be an indication to that. What's making it tough is how it will stop for a couple weeks making me think it's fixed then boom, it's back

To be honest I am not sure but probably not. When I explained the situation they basically didn't believe what I was saying like it was another language. Sad thing is, they are the only alternator shop around. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good volt meter to do the test myself? If it was the alternator,would the problem randomly stop for a few weeks at a time? Yesterday morning it was doing it,then after work and this morning. Then after work it did it,stopped for fuel and now it's running fine. Also it still does it with alternator not plugged in. I will be bringing the batteries this week to get tested

I've had this issue for a while and I've had the local alternator shop do a bench test and they say everything is fine. I have also taken the plug from the back of the alternator out and they issue continued. I just went a few weeks with no issue and yesterday it started again real bad. The truck is also starting slower and not firing right up like usual. Can bad batteries cause the lock up issue? I read somewhere that the pcm could be messed up from previous ac noise. 2001 truck
