What a terrible day I am having....should have said just TO have an 
alternator that was not belt driven....Also braking should have been 
breaking, and raadiator should have been radiator.  Spent half the night on 
road calls fixing trucks and most of today in the hospital (brother had a 
heart attack).  Please excuse my typos.  Paul Conner
