Things I need to get

[bear claw]

I am relocating my alternator higher soon on the 91 and can't do it on the 95 because of the air conditioning, but I still want a gauge so when I zap it again I will know right away not days later on the highway with the truck dying on me because of a dead battery "And it was only a little hole" . Must of been the repeating action that did it lol. Anyway any suggestions on the best approach to my repeating dilemma on those gauges would be appreciated. I had a cheap portable one that plugged into a lighter but it died on me. I'm thinking a fixed in-cab gauge with a big amber alert light or something

 

We now have power back Houston -bounce-

 

P.S. you can run 2 to 3 days with a dead alternator, caring a second battery will get you out of trouble or a second alternator; preparedness is always the best solution

just get a voltmeter. if the voltage drops to much, like around 10v-11v, youre done.

Mmyep. The cig lighter deal is a good one if you don't want to mount anything or run wires. I'd probably just get another one.
