My truck had that issue last Summer in Gillette WY. Luckily the solar kept feeding the truck to get us into town. Brand new alternator self install and back on our way with less than three hours lost. If it is 14 years old there is no harm to replace it. No need for external 600 amp diodes and the like. Get a lifetime warranty and roll on down the road.
Roger that.
Other forums recommended it better to rebuild a Denso than pick up an O'Reilly's or whatever, but I'm not married to the idea. Just want to "roll on down the road" asap!
