My Super C has a GM 10 SI Alternator that works fine when running but it has a drain on the battery when it is not running that will drain the battery over time. Is the drain due to faulty diodes in either the voltage regulator, Triode, or Rectifier? I see there are kits sold with various combinations of these 3 parts. If I knew which was faulty, I could order the right parts and fix it myself perhaps.
Or should I just get a rebuilt alternator at the parts store? Kits run about $15 to $20 depending on parts included in them. I don't know what a rebuilt one would cost.
If I knew which component was at fault, I could just buy it alone very cheap also.
Your advice?
