Do you do allot of dry camping and run the batteries way down? that situation puts the alternator under a heavy load the instance the engine starts and that can take out the capacitors in the regulator. If your batteries have been drained way down it's best to start the generator and if it doesn't have a delayed kick in let it run 30 seconds then flip the barrel switch over to generator and after a couple minutes then start your engine. This will take that start up pressure off of your engine alternator.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Front Alternator 8V92

I had the front alternator rebuilt in 2007 right after buying the coach, and have about 25,000 miles +/- since then. After testing it today it is dead again, there must be an underlying problem. Any ideas?
