Alternator issues

[scirocco@insanetechnology.com (Wm. Josiah Erikson)]

Get an alternator for a car with AC, if you don't have one already. You 
can just replace the voltage regulator, which has the brushes on it, and 
that will solve your voltage problem just as well as a new alternator 
will. The only thing that actually wears out in an alternator is the 
bearings and the brushes, in my experience.
