Tabe,
    If you have the cash I would go with a rebuilt
alternator.   Your bearings in the alternator are just
as used as the brushes.   Spend some money and get a
good one if can.   It will pay off big later.

Subject: Alternator light glows dimly at idle...  Need
new brushes?

Hey everyone,

Just noticed this evening in the dark that the
alternator
idiot light glows dimly at idle and gradually goes out
as
I rev the engine.  The light is fully out by
~2500-3000 RPM.

I'm thinking it's time for new brushes.  Anyone agree?
Anyone disagree?
