[QUOTE="Centurion_guy, post: 1477905, member: 28255"] Ok gents and lady gents, My 95 7.3 started having issues a few weeks back when I was leaving Wichita to head back to Joplin. The volt gauge was jumping and was almost like ticking. The dash lights pulsated. If you opened the doors, the overhead centurion lighted part pulsated too. We turned back and I checked it with a volt meter. The alternator was putting out properly. So we pushed on. The next morning at work I tested the truck with our interstate battery and charging tester and it said the diodes were stuck open. I yanked the alternator and had the rectifier replace. Well it has been about 2-3 weeks and I am now having to go down stairs and pull the alternator again as it has begun to act up again. Of course I am supposed to be leaving for Austin this after noon. Thankfully the guys who rebuilt it the first time are being awesome and are fixing it under warranty and will have it done this afternoon. But has anyone else ever had an issue with their truck eating diodes? Any know where I should start testing to try and find the issue with it? [/QUOTE]
