Gaffer? What up with the double post 1 hour apart?

A family member hit the back button and then hit "resend" intead of cancel.. and it was just sheer weirdness that the first was 2:05 and the second was 3:05 (that was the deleted one

) But good luck on that alternator!

Is that just a stock replacement, or did you got up in amps? I was going to agree with Gaff on the 160...

No I got a stock replacement, at this point I have no need for higher amps. I do not have a system or anything that would drain it. I may upgrade to a higher amp alt. if and when I decide to upgrade my radio

Oh. I thought it was recommended that when you do change it to go up since it'* under-efficient from the factory, that'* why our cars eat 'em?? And this is especially true for SSEi'*?? Help...
