Alternator Woes

[Mark Pollan <Mark.Pollan@mci.com>]

Hi All:

Wanted to give those with high mileage vehicles a word of warning.
One week ago I had to but a new battery.  At that time I tested the
alternator output both at the jump post and at the battery.  Strong
13.7 volts.  This morning the alternator went south with no warning.
Pep Boys has a reman. with lifetime warranty for $124.99.  Might be
worthwhile for high mileage guys/gals to go ahead and replace it even
if things seem O.K.

Hope this saves somebody the cost, hassle, etc. of a tow.
