toyman80 · January 28, 2009, 03:20:22 PM

79coyotefrg · January 28, 2009, 03:26:20 PM

yes it would, also where did you get the alternator?? if from Autozone, you probably need another one

brockbuilt85 · January 28, 2009, 03:34:42 PM

toyman80 · January 28, 2009, 04:09:20 PM

change your voltage regulator..

jimbo74 · February 03, 2009, 06:22:51 PM

have the alternator tested... never heard of tony's alternators... but HALF of the remanufactured alternators are

sometimes they work, sometimes they don't ... maybe time for warranty replacement...

check the external voltage regulator as well

toyman80 · February 04, 2009, 02:00:45 PM
