Rick, the alternator isn't very old, but I think I toasted it when I ran it on a dead battery. All I know is that it isn't charging. I'm working off the assumption that I killed the internal regulator, but I don't know if that's really the issue. I figured a diagnostic would be key. I did watch a youtube video on rebuilding a one-wire alternator, but my attention span ran out about half way through. Probably not a good idea for me to rip it apart myself. I'm thinking at this point that the best recourse for me is to pull it and take it to a shop that specializes in alternators.
