3220 hours on the machine
The alternator stopped charging about 9 months ago.
I called CAT and they wanted $611 for a replacement alternator!!
I took the existing unit to a local rebuilder and $50 later, she was charging again.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and it is not charging again. Ok, time to find a new one. Call around and find what seems to be a suitable replacement for $311. It is supposed to be the same unit, but 105amp not the stock 90amp. CAT tech even confirmed that the new PN was an alternate for machines with a cab.
My guy puts it in and the back is a little different. The harness has a yellow and green wire. The alternator has a green and black wire. He figures green to green and black to yellow. It still doesn't charge. Even swapping the wires, it doesn't charge.
It seems to be a Denso unit and seems to have an internal voltage regulator.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
