Ganito din po problema ng Revo Diesel ko. After mga 30 mins na gamit mahina na karga. Kapag naka on yung ilaw, aircon less than 12V na yung karga. Pinalitan ng voltage regulator ok na lahat.

Bump ko lang yung thread. I have revo diesel and voltage regulator din nakakabit. Nadiskarga battery ko kahapon and after inspection may problem daw sa voltage regulator. Pinalitan lang tapos okay na. Pumapalo na sa 13+ kapag on aircon and ilaw.

Mukhang mas hassle nga kapag pina convert pa sa IC. Tumagal naman iyong stock voltage regulator ng 6 years

Hello guys,
Tulong naman. I have a revo 2004 deisel. nagluluko na regulator. I've read na pwede palitan ang alternator with IC. I'm from Masinag.
Please recommend an auto electrician with in the vicinity, baka sabay ko na rin pa check ang wirings. What kind of alternator po pwede ko gamitin and how much po kaya ang price?

cheers

is the old revo's charging system an electro-mechanical one? they do not charge as well as the newer electronic ones..
the IC or solid-state system is more reliable, especially at lower speeds.
but check mo muna ang alternator. baka brushes lang yan..
there was a time, many years ago, we could buy a surplus alternator for 200 bucks..
