Just got back from a 90mile trip from the lake in the Square... at night, with the boat in back and a car crammed with all our stuff. So when does the generator light come on? Backing the car up the driveway upon our arrival!! I love my car! How often does something crap out at the best possible moment?? Id hate to think how many miles I had to drive with a 6 year old battery... I do keep a spare generator with me but of course this was the time I forgot the tools! I got 43K miles out of that generator!! and only the brushes are bad... even with all the electrical gizmos I have on the car... this is why I never went to the alternator conversion, Toby has a real neat installation but these generators are alot more capable than most people give them credit for. Course if I go to TYpe 4 power... there IS an alternator on those engines...
