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

[Don Bradner]

The alternators are a very run-of-the-mill truck item. 555, or "triple nickel"
as they are often called. Look for Leece Neville 110-555JHO. They come in PHO
(Pad) and JHO (J-180) versions and you need the J.

Our '90 was originally equipped with a 160-amp at the tail and a 135-amp under
the bed. I replaced both a few years ago with 160s, at less than $200 each new.
