[V8] Speaking of battery charging...

[Kneale Brownson]

Is there a Bosch service center in your area?  I live in relatively rural
Northern Michigan and there's a Bosch-trained tech available here who can
rebuild their starters and alternators.  I've used their services to have
both kinds of parts repaired.  Usually considerably cheaper than purchasing
a rebuilt example.
