REFLECTOR:Low volt warning

[Dennis Huntington]

TEC

I am on my 3rd automotive alternator. The first lasted about50 hours. I had 
it rebuilt in Salt Lake City, and it lasted another 50 hours or so.  A year 
ago while at the factory it went out again.  The factory willingly 
warranteed it.  But this one will not put out over 13.2 volts while the 
others put out 13.8-14.2
When this one fails, I will definately switch to an aircraft alternator.
