When the truck needs, she needs now.
Yesterday I was watching a movie and using the sound system and ended up plugging in the computer, and ran the battery down to 10 percent capacity. I should have fired up our genset and charged it back up first, but didn't. When the truck was started, the 20 year old alternator fried.
Oops. It's not like I don't know about that sort of thing.
So today, despite one hell of a flu, I changed out the part.
With that, every "external" device on the engine that spins in some fashion have all been replaced.
