hello all -
I have a 1991 class C Tioga with the ford 460, had it for almost 9 years - love it!
had a new alternator put in last year while on way to las vegas -? at the repair shop I needed
to wait while they went and got another 100 amp, because that's what I had originally (they said).
all seemed well, until this weekend, went alternator went bad - and I find out that the replacement
put in last year (carquest lifetime warranty) is only a 75 amp. how much am I missing out on added
performance, or is my one house battery not charging well enough?
I may have to buy ANOTHER new one if y'all recommend I go back to the 100 amp.
the repair shop (as yet unnamed) seems a bit reluctant to fess up to installing a 75 amp, and the receipt
does NOT mention 75 or 100, just a R+R alternator - but carquest says that number is a 75 amp.
did they just slap a 75 amp to get me to las vegas (with our Mom's), or is it really not needed?
help - rv is at mechanic 50 miles from home, and I'll be away for work tomorrow, I'll be back to check
here Wed.
thanks so much for any suggestions.
