Thanks for your time and help captain, i WILL post back after ive installed the new alternator which is now on order from rock auto. Steve.

 

New alternator fitted and all is good, glad it wasnt a problem with the pcm.
Next question, i ve seen an alternator rebuild kit on fleabay for like $39, includes regulator, rectifier, brushes and bearings. Has anyone used this kit with good results, might be a good buy then i have spare for backup. Thanks again for your time captain hook! Steve.

 

Thanks for posting back. Gald you got her fixed.

 

Captain Hook was the work around on the alternator was just to go back to a 1998 alternator.Or is there more to it thanks

 

This thread is 6 years old. Haven't seen Captain Hook for some time now.

 

Does anyone know of a work around ??

 

The "work around" Captain hook mentioned was bypassing the pcm's signal telling the alternator to charge to determine if the pcm or the alternator was the problem.
