Alternator picture.


Recommended Posts

    Many people have found that the Loyales and some of the other DL's, & etc. have poor alternators with the high speed diode going out.  Since they are not user friendly to repair a replacement is in order.  I too bought a Lifetime Warranty Shucks/O'Riley alternator and never had a problem since. 

 

   When the alternater goes out and overcharging of the componets happens, all sorts of things can start burning out.  The first thing I noticed was the dash clock then a few other funky things started happening.  If you just are buying an old Loyale, get it replaced.  If you have an old Loyale, get it replaced.  See that the alternator is aftermarket and watch the charging level.  Anything over 14v for a period of time should alert you to a problem.
