Good Morning All,
So I think my alternator finally bit the bullet. Two weeks ago I started getting the high drain light during initial start up. Then yesterday she started barely and die after a 5 minute run. She lite up like a Christmas tree before the immdiate shutdown. Then I had to jump start her to get her going again and once cable were removed the same result.

Time for a trip to the dealer...

Cheers!

Yeah, that is the plan if I can get it to run long enough to get a reading. She is not happy right now. I also have not checked to see if the belt failed. Would be feak but is possible.

Cheers
