'87 fuel-miser

FOLLOW UP : after checking battery cables , i found the positive terminal was very loose , after cleaning and tightening both terminals ... it didn't seem to help ,tested the alternator ... it was CAPUT ! looked original , so i guess i can't complain . got a replacement at advanced auto ( napa was out of stock , a/z said "they couldn't get them" ) and we're back in business ! thanks for the input guys !!! :banana: . :MJ 1: .

hey guy's , my need a little input on this one ... recently i've noticed on my morning ride to work , my headlights , fan/blower motor ( even radio will cut out ) have been dying down , then back up to normal , then my lights will get a little brighter then go back to normal , ect ... ect ... seems to be charging fine ! it's been a rough winter , i figured with cold and heater full blast , high beams , on everthing working extra , might have been making things "act up" , but now that's it's a little milder ... it's still happening ... i'm thinking VOLTAGE REGULATOR ??? my truck is a 4 cyl/4 sp and runs like a clock ... anyone have any ideas ??? thanks ! . :MJ 1: . :dunno:
