[DML] Re: Alternator ? Should have included...

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have the battery tested. If it is over 5 years old just replace it.
The 90 AMP is fine unless you have added a lot of electrical
equipment. Again, talk to Rob @ PJ Grady and he can help you with your
choices. I would strongly recomend you replace the "Ducey" before it
fails. You may also have an issue with corrosion on the "big"
connections, the battery, the starter, and the alternator.
