Thinking I MAY have found out why my battery went dead. As I was going to check the alternator output, I found that the alternator's battery terminal was broken off inside the housing. Gee, wonder if that would make a difference. So glad I keep receipts. I got my second warranty replacement since originally buying the alternator from Checker in '01. Going to take a run up to Superior or maybe even Globe tomorrow to see if I still have the intermitant hot start problem. I'll hook up at the McDowell/Recker Standard station Saturday morning.
