Yeah. I know, (sigh.) I've spent several thousand dollars on my D since 
February. I haven't got a "twenty thousand dollar" D yet, investment wise, 
but I am carrying a credit card balance. I got a "D parts car Motorola" and 
had it tested at my friendly auto electric shop. That's what I installed. 
Frankly, voltage wise, I see no difference. Arggh! A compromise, but we 
never carried a credit card balance for, oh, say twenty three plus years. My 
wife doesn't mind my car hobby but an unpaid credit card balance drives her 
CRAZY. Today I replaced not only the alternator but the lower speedo cable 
and fuel pump. Labor: $100. I was afraid it would be a lot higher. :) 
I'll spring for a Delco when Mr. Amex says "no payment due!"
