New Detroit 8.2 alternator

[John F.]

I pulled the starboard motor alternator out of the boat, and it just tested bad. Do diesel alternators have to be "marine" like gassers? It also has a 3-wire input and single output. Everything the local guy is coming up with has a two wire input. Any ideas? I'll call Johnson Towers tomorrow, but there usual response is that they don't have anything for the 8.2s

Think I got it figured out. Thanks

You can probably find help from any good diesel distributor/mechanic to source a starter.

You will find that a lot of the diesel parts are not like gas parts, most are not necessarily ignition protected.
