multiple alternator replacements with the same result. After a week the customer has a dead battery and the alternator puts out insufficient voltage ~ 8-10v. Putting a fresh battery in will bring the output to 12.5v. Repalced the atlernator again and get back up to 13.8-14.2v where all of the customer's other trucks charge under the same conditions. Cannot figure out what is killing the alternators. We have replaced the relays in the fuse box and the fuses on the battery terminal. The engine does not spin faster or slower than others on site and the pulley sizes are the same. This unit will stall when the positive battery terminal is removed while all of the other units will continue running.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
