On the way to church set up this morning, the van lights dimmed and never brighten back up.
Got home and took the alternator apart. The slip rings were gooved so onto the lathe it went and cleaned them up. However, after reassembly, there still wasn't any increase in battery voltage with the engine running! All of the diodes check out, so it looks like it's time for a new regulator. Hopefully, the local rebuilder has one in stock.
That's what I did in the shop today!
