Re: [DML] 180A Altenator.

Marc,

When I still was running my stock 2.85L PRV, I believe I used the same
180A alternator.  For the short time that I used it, I didn't have any
problems.  

Curiously, did you also buy yours from the seller "alterstart" on eBay?

It seems hard to believe he would give you a hard time, with such a
high feedback rating.
