    ..

    When I had a stock Alternator and just a stock battery or even just the RedTop before I went to the 160 amp Alt and the higher power Redtop, just running the VX's radio (without an amp) for a couple hours parked then attempting to start it, it would not start.

    Although, with the Redtop it would last about 4 hours verse 2 hours.

    Now, with the 160 amp alt and higher power Redtop I have NO problems and never a dead battery. Although stock my VX came with a 45 amp alternator and I do believe they were suposed to come with 95 amp alternators.


    Hmmm, was this a supply issue in the factory??? Hey We are out of Alternators...Hey, we have some Rodeo ones next door..ok that'll work, throw one of those in.
