False economy on your part..
My truck is a 96 worth maybe 2K now.. I bought it for 8k with 60k miles on it... A new alt is about 79 bucks.
I think my economy is good...
A 1000 watt honda is 800? A 3 stage convertor upgrade is 300? Thats 1100 bucks... vs the 60 bucks I spent..
Again I am doing this to help others to see if it works as well as myself.
Although since I have a cs130D 105 amp alt there are better options.
Such as the AD244 which is a direct fit and is 145amp..
Here is my cs 130D vs AD244...

Near 20yr old vehicle.. It IS living on "borrowed time"..
Your living on luck not economy..
When it is you only ride out of the woods and that old you might be really wishing that you had listened to the advice given..
There is times and places for being cheap.. Hiking out of the woods is not one of those places to be cheap..
