97 850 alternator rebuild question 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Brown on  Sat Dec 30 15:31 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Has anyone ever attempted to rebuild their alternator? Mine was starting to fail on these cold Maine nights and was only generating 12.8V - 13.1V. I ordered a voltage regulator with the integrated brushes and began the lengthy task of pulling the alternator. Upon opening the housing I see that the new one and old one are different in that the new one does not have the clip for what appears to have been a ground wire (red/white sleeve). The new one is is stamped 1197311213, the old one is 1197311520. Is this due to an upgrade in technology, or did I just waste $60?
