Bad alternators can pass on the test fixtures. Btdt, more than once. Check with a meter on the vehicle to see if it is indeed truly puting out a charge.


Been there done that 3 times. I will check my voltage tonight on my 82 22R but 14.4 seems a tad low. I had to go back to an oem Toyota alternator because all of the non-Toyota ones would bench test fine but not produce enough of voltage to keep the battery charged. Have you had your battery tested as well to see if it is in fact good and will hold a charge?

You can do a search and find a few topics on this as well.

Good luck
