Did not have diode failure in my life, when I had lot of vehicles with high demands.
My bus conversions for example had 500 lb of batteries in it and I had AC run on alternator power with inverter.
The bus was 1972 model, so not that new neither.
I'm following this argument with some interest. I frankly don't know enough about this subject to have an opinion, one way or another.
My concern would be that it might develop enough ac ripple to actually damage the engine control computer or other computer controls.
Your bus was old enough that that wouldn't have been a problem. Assuming the diodes didn't actually fail totally, did you ever check to see if you had ac ripple?
