Do they use salt on the roads there in the winter?
That's to bad about it getting broke that way, be very careful with anything diesel specific, parts are getting hard to find, keep the alternator as a backup, they are not the greatest built alternators, I have had a couple of them go bad.

And a New alternator with the vacuum pump attached to it that I will install tomorrow. Its an old truck so stuff is falling off it all the time. Mostly rust!!! But I am restoring it as best I can. New floor boards next... Pop Riveting new sheet metal that has been rust proofed and painted. Then lots of body work on all the rust...
