[vintovka]

Made it to a small local show this Saturday. Its the last for this year. Its was fun and even the wife had a good time too. See pic. On the way back we participated in a memorial cruise for a club member who recently passed. All went well till wife noticed the alternator light was on and voltmeters all showing near nothing in the way of voltage. We were cruising at very low speed and the big 40 amp spal was doing its job but sucking amps faster than they could be made. Sadly we decided to jump out of the 40 car procession and speed home. Current Alt is only 63 amp so looks like a 100 amp will be on order soon. Its been giving me odd readings and putting out an unusual whining noise. Was going to replace it with a brand new one still in the box since 1999 but why bother cause its just another 63. Been alright so far but no much cruising so best get it done here at the beginning of the hibernation (monsoon) season. Wife's former 90% confidence in the truck dropped way down again. Oh well.
