[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1035310, member: 61136"] It is possible to get an alt, that is not fully functionaly. I believe the vehicle computer gets its signal from the regulator. You can still get a charge even when the regulator has a bad doide. I might be a pain in the butt. I would exchange it. Also find out if NAPA has the equipment to fully bench test an alt. Some stores use to do that even when you brung your old one in. This type of test is mush different from testing for the 14volt charge on the vehicle. I havent seen bench test equipment in parts stores in a while. Knock on wood, the last alt I replaced was in 1996. On a '88 302 T-bird. Chief auto dindt' bench test. It took the 3rd one to work right. [/QUOTE]
