There's that guy who follows you and swaps batteries....   ;)

It worked, last RFTH, I think it was.

This happened Wednesday afternoon.  I took my sister, a family friend, my daughter and granddaughter out to Cracker Barrel next door to where Scott and I swapped back our batteries.  On my way there, I had lights, wipers and AC going and I noticed my turn signals were very slow.  It wasn't charging. 

Roger lives very close to Cracker Barrel and he said I could bring it there and leave it if needed.  It had quit raining when we were leaving so no accessories were needed.  My daughter followed me home.  I realized I had made it there from Asheville on one charge, so I could proably make it 10 miles home.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Are you going to swap to an '88 alternator?

No.  I'm going to leave it as it is for now.  It will be difficult enough just swapping this one out because of my shoulder.  I couldn't keep my left arm up long enough to cut and properly splice wires for the CS alternator.  As it is, I have to lift my left arm up with my right arm to get hold of a wrench.
