Thanks Eric - new alternator gives 14.1 V at idle and 14.4 revved up... All seems normal now. It seems odd to me that the olds alternator and old regulator both went bad at once, but it's nice to have the truck back to normal.

I don't know why Toyota doesn't build a truck with a small diesel. They built one of the best. If you don't believe it, talk to the people in Cuba. |

I know what you're saying! It was actually a trip to Cuba that had me looking for a Toyota diesel in the first place. I will keep it going as long as possible, this is for sure, there's no real modern equivalent. |

The next year, all of those issues were corrected, but the sales wouldn't support, continuing the sales in the US. |

charging system problems, you ended up changing all three to finally get a few years peace out of the system..... Battery, Alt, and regulator. You couldn't use yer brain, or a meter to fix it, you just had to replace it all, or you would be replacing each part over and over...... 1972 - 86 If the battery was 2 year old or less it usually was ok. Our Honda's are much better, and also odd in that we have 6 honda's in the family. 1986 - 1996, Each Alt. went at around 170K miles, then with 300K to 420K on those cars presently, the second Alt. in each car, A Honda Factory rebuild has not had any troubles.... .

he use to have to replace it every year or two. I asked him, so where is the bargain in that ? AZ is a mindset kinda place. The labor to keep replacing cheap guaranteed forever junk is too expensive.... .
