Fitting an alternator is the easy way out but not original equipment. Spend a little more time here on the gen. The problem might be small but you need to use correct testing procedures. Give me some more detailed information. Regards, Kevin.

I am going to look for a shop that has a growler.

I think the Van pelt alt has provisions for the fan. I was hoping somebody on here has used one.
Speedway lists a PowerGen alt that looks like a gen for 400.
I figure I can always have the original equipment for the next person. I just want trouble free road trip when taking the wife out.
