i have been having a heck of a time trying to get my truck to charge right,ive changed every ground lead put a ground straight on the voltage regulator changed the plug on the back og the alternator ,,but still it would stop charging,,,i could tap the black plug on the back and it would charge till you shut it off again,,,come to find out it was the brushes they were wore out and when i was tapping the plug it must have been pushing the field bolts and the brush holder forward enough to make contact,,,,im going to pickup the parts in the morning and ill take lots of pics and let you know how it works out,,,,,good morning every one

i replaced mine at 300k, upon taking it apart to replace brushes, the copper segaments were worn down 3/16" not worthy of reusing the armateur
