That's a great one God of Thunder. Mine was an alternator problem too. Had an older car that wasn't charging properly. It had a electro-mechanical voltage regulator that seemed to work just fine so I took the alternator out and checked everything...brushes, windings, and the diodes. I had to disconnect the diodes to test them and solder them back in place. It took quite a while. Everything checks out okay so I re-install and it still doesn't charge. A day or two later I notice that even though the alternator is in the fully extended position on the bracket... you probably guessed it by now...the belt wasn't tight!
