Dodge Alternators

Before alternators, Dodge cars used to be run on generators, which supplied power to the electrical system and allowed headlights, dash lights, ignition coils and the radio to run. They were eventually replaced by alternators, which don't possess commutators. That makes them lighter and cheaper than the old generators, as well as simpler (simpler parts in automobiles are preferable because there are fewer components to break or wear out). Most Dodge alternators possess a voltage regulator, which modulates the electricity dispersed and helps to maintain peak efficiency.

When your alternator needs repairs, it isn't always apparent. The Dodge vehicle may continue to drive because the battery still has stored power, which can keep things running for a time. When it goes, however, it can leave the driver stranded. Even if the engine is still running, it can cause problems with the vehicle's performance. A test with a volt-o-meter can detect whether the Dodge alternator is in need of repair as can a simple examination of dash and interior lights. Lack of proper engine cooling also leads to problems with the alternator.
