We were returning home from Phoenix and were driving along on I-40 just west of the NM border and our voltmeter suddenly showed 18 volts.
Apparently the voltage regulator went bad in the alternator.

Fortunately I carry a spare so I pulled off the highway into a closed truck weigh station.
I removed the alternator and was about to try pushing the new one up from the bottom when Hal St Clair walked up to my motorhome.
He offered to help and so I pushed it up from the bottom and he pulled it from the top. Hal got the mounting pin mounted into it and I felt I could take care of it from there.

The new alternator worked fine.

Thank you, Hal for your assistance. You seem to be helping a lot of GMCers lately. Bob Dunahugh especially with his water pump problem.
