Re: Alternator Discussion

its a good question.......... ))But I like the idea of being redundant as well. I will be running 2 Optimas. ))Do you have to do wiring any different for 2 alternators or can you just hook them up in parallel? first of all lets clarify the goal. a) increased current output b) increased reliability b...

Re: Tire Thread?

perhaps its about the tire pressure, like if you park it with low tire pressure for a while, the tire will temporarily deform I thought that for a while but I always have 30psi and they do it. It seems to me like when its been cold out and I jump in (like in the morning at 5am going to work) its wo...

Re: Is this a good update to add?
