Generator problem...

I have a 85 Blazer full size and I am getting some weird Alternator problems. It charges then stops then charges. This is a new alternator the one before this wouldn't charge more than 12v and the one before that would charge and then stop like the current one. I have tested the previous ones at AutoZone and they were bad. This one was tested before I took possession of it and passed but is now doing this. When I test it, it will either charge with 50 amps and nothing wrong or will not charge and they will say its disconnected or something. I have replaced that plug that goes in it too. I am wondering if I have been getting some bad parts or is there something else that I am missing?

Thanks in advance for your help. I am glad that these are easy to change or this could be a lot worse I think?

I think he needs to check field power wiring. The alternator will not produce power unless it is switched on and field power is applied. If his field circuit is bad the alternator would test good on a tester when feild power is jumpered over to it. (feild power which runs between 4 and 6 amp is removed when off otherwise it would discharge battery quickly. (could over heat alternator too on a warm still day)

Why don't you admit you were wrong in the '4T65E' thread before you continue posting more bad information?

Because he is either too damn stupid or too damn drunk to admit that. Hell did you read his last post in the coolant thread, he left out like every other word while typing!

I tried to read it but my brain cells were suffocating do to the sheer stupidity of his post... I wouldn't doubt one bit that he is an alcoholic or suffers from some sort of mind crippling disease like syphilis. I can't imagine a normal healthy person going about their business like nothing happened after they caused a train wreck. Definitely has to be some sort of disease at work here.

Now I "what" to focus? Umm, hello, my 10 year old son types and speaks better then you, AND he knows that different metals expand at different rates. Shame that you, the self proclaimed expert of all can/couldn't/won't learn this.

What a lot of us are still trying to figure out is how we are all the trolls, according to you, but you the one who is almost always wrong, who almost always posts incorrect info and NEVER ONCE admits to being wrong is not a troll?

Ohh, I know all about this, and have read it with great enjoyment many times. Though it is/was a rethorical question I was trying to see if he actually had a grasp on anything at all.

Snoman, just admit that you misread a single letter in the 4t65e thread. One simple letter in the middle of a part number is easy to misread, especially when your mind and eyes are trained to read something almost identical. No shame is associated with a simple mistake like that. The shame is to continue to act as if you didn't make a reasonable error.

I suspect you won't respond to me, because you never do. Is it because I disarm you by stating your usual response? Statements like "you're just a troll, you don't understand the physics, you don't understand the chemistry,you don't understand the thermodynamics, you don't understand the special theory of relativity." My god man, you are a laughing stock! Even Beryl no longer defends you.

I'm well, thank you. I finally have enough money saved to have some basic work done on my house. I now have insulation in the walls and ceiling. This winter I don't think I will have to sleep in the living room with a small fire going that I have to monitor/adjust throughout the night, nor do I suspect I will awake to find frost on the inside of my windows!

Although we corresponded about me stopping by for an afternoon this fall, I've taken too much of my available vacation to do prep. work on my house, that I won't be making the grand tour of the desert south west that I envisioned.

The Leonid meteor shower is predicted to peek early the night of November 18 as discussed here:

Although the number of meteors/hour or meteors/night has steadily fallen from the peek 5 or 6 years ago, it remains a beautiful display and always surprises the experts in both the number and brilliance of the meteors. I will be outside that night and encourge all to at least look up once that night.
