OK, returning back like a bad penny. Alternator came home today. I reinstalled as per instructions. Said tighten belt so if you put a socket on the nut you should be able to turn the engine. Does this not put a lot of extra strain on the water pump bearings ? Anyway, fully connected and start up, amp meter shows no charge but turn signal lever clicks discharge when pulled. Powergen sent results of their testing and seems fine. Where to go from here ? sure could use a hand from an electric guru about now.
