Aaron,
Sounds like you have this job just abouts wrapped up. Good to know also
about the 120amp alternator, as a battery(I am currently researching all the
gel sealed Optima-like batteries) and a new alt. are definately on the top
of my list. Hopefully the water pump wont leak and you can drive your Dak
again tonight! Thanks for the update.
