It's probably been said a few times before... "gotta pay to play".
Come to think of it, I haven't done any searches on this particular topic before but I've come acorss countless posts and warnings about our alternators (and the ones in the Trooper) over the last year. I'm a bit surprised that with the amount of info on this board and on vmag that this matter still comes as a shock to some. Some of the off-road vets on both boards have been very vocal about the alternator/water warning.
