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.
The alternator is basically the main source of power for the electrical system on a Chevy. While the engine is running, it will charge the battery, power the lights and radio, and run modern amenities like onboard navigation systems. It replaced the old DC generator, which served the same function on older cars, benefiting from both lighter construction and vastly improved durability. If you drive an older Chevy with an OEM DC generator, you may want to see about replacing it with a new alternator.
