Update on Check Engine Light, Warning Buzzer, Coach Loses Power 1993 WLWB

[mbulriss]

Hey Liz,

FYI, you hit the wrong parenthesis key on your emoticon; your "still in Texas"
should have a smiley face after it! LOL! Getting too hot for you guys already
and looking to head to the mountains? Are you getting pounded in the recent
rains?

Given that alt under the bed is the hard one to change out, I suspect the prior
owner disconnected the wire when the voltage regulator shorted out and gave him
run away voltage output readings. Don't ask how I know that! :^) If you need
a name on an alt re-builder, I can get you a name in NW San Antonio that has
done several for me, but these days I found it is actually cheaper to just get a
new Delco at Ogburn's Truck Parts. That one under the bed has gone out twice on
me so far. Same on my 1983 PT. My theory is there's too much heat trapped in
there for them to survive.

Where did you have the other repairs done on the 8V92? Always good to have a
name for that stuff.

Thanks,

Mike Bulriss
