Alternators out

[jqrjr]

Ron,

I have been having a simmilar problem with my 88 WBWLXXV, the
alternators have not yet gone out but I do have voltage that goes to
16 to high apms 150 also, this seem to happen to me after I have run
for about an hour and happen intermittantly. I have not resolved the
problem yet I was hoping the at RITV I could get some hands on help.

Please let me know what happen with you!
