[QUOTE="David Ponder, post: 943755, member: 65447"] Could it be that you have two issues? No one seems to be arguing that the auto parts store cannot diagnose a bad diode, I have no doubt that they can. The question would be, is that the problem with the battery going down. IMHO, if the Alt is testing bad, replace it. THEN move on if the discharging issue persists. (I may be a "Shade Tree" mechanic, but there have been a LOT of cars & trucks under my tree, and very few of them for the same problem again) :grin: [/QUOTE]
