Re: Help- 95 LS Alternator issue?

[Colin Verrilli <verrilli@domain.elided>]

Last summer I replaced battery and rebuilt alternator on my '94 LS
with 110K.
The voltage was dropping after the alternator got hot to the 12-13
volt range.
Note I got the alternator rebuilt for approx $170 vs. new $300-$400.
