Re: [DML] Alternator and Coolant questions

Thanks DMCJoe...

Well [Explative deleted by moderator] - I have the original Dulciar (sp)
alternator, and my battery light does not come on when
I turn the ignition... does this mean maybe I dont
need an alternator and just need a light?

If so, is the light easy to replace? I've taken
dshboards off of cars while installing stereos and
stuff, and I NEVER (repeat NEVER) get them back on
right, and they rattle afterwars.... so I hope I dont
have to go through that. I would prefer to just buy
the lamp light though, because thats a lot cheaper and
money is tight right now.

I've also been told to replace the thing anyhow
because one day I will be driving and it will leave me
stranded.. if its NOT a big deal to put a PJ or Delco
alternator in, and make it work with my set up, I
wouldnt mind doing that... I dont care about the
battery light, because I can read the gauge.

I just want to drive it again.... I'm getting tired of
pretending my Bronco is a Delorean :) I'm half
tempted to go buy a huge battery, and drive the car,
and charge the battery afterwards :).
