Episode 302: Technology on commercial trucks continues to become more complex as more advanced electrical systems are developed. This is changing the demands on the charging system. Alternators need to be high-output and high-performance to meet the needs of the modern semi-truck.

In this episode, we discuss how to choose the correct alternator for the application of your truck and avoid system-wide electrical issues and unnecessary downtime that occurs when you install the incorrect alternator.
