I have a brand new Nu-Rex 12 volt alternator, still in the original box that I've kept in the box for a couple years, as a spare.
I recently installed it on my 1931 SW Fordor and it will not self regulate, it constantly charges at 15 amps, and when I turn on my AC it pegs the ammeter way past the 20 amp mark! No matter how long I run the engine it doesn't charge any less. I have a new 12 V battery with new cables so that's not the problem. I thought it may be the internal voltage regulator so I bought a new one from NAPA that fits late 80's GM vehicles. The one they sold me looked exactly like my original, but they weren't sure if was the same function. Once I installed the new voltage regulator the alternator would not charge at all! I reinstalled the original regulator and it acts just the same, it overcharges. Does the Nu-Rex alternator use a special regulator? (It has red letters 12 SE printed on it) Anyone got a solution for this issue? Bill Last edited by wrmyers35; 08-12-2023 at 07:16 PM. Reason: Correct typing errors |
