<VV> alternator replacement II

[James Davis]

I have had a 105 amp internal regulated alternator in the UltraVan for 7 
years and a 80 amp internal regulated alternator on the Rampside for 12 
years.   Both work fine.  The UltraVan wears out a belt every 12,000 
miles and the Rampside every 22,000 miles.  Both alternators were 
purchased from Summit Racing and were rebuilt by Powermaster.
