I knew you'd pull through for me Mark! Thanks!

The Diodes on mine look ok. Slightly crusty, but not bad for over 95k miles. I gave the alternator a greased lightning bath and rinse. Man did those windings brighten up!

Another thing, someone mentioned rebuilding the Regulator to fix bad Diodes, the Diodes are not in the Regulator but are in the other plastic housing bolted onto the back of the Alternator.
