We put a meter on both alternaters after experiencing dead battery problems.
The left side showed 14.8 volts.
The right one showed 12.3 volts.
We installed a kit in the right side one just to be safe.

It still won't put out more than 12.3, and now we've discovered we have no power going to one of the wires of the plug that goes to the regulator, and therefore the alternator won't excite and begin charging.
We are deep into the dash after tracing that wire, and we cannot find the problem.
We can jumper the dead wire to the power block with one slight touch, and she'll charge likea new one.

What's up with this? Anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

Thanks,
