I drove my truck 3hours one time with a bad alt it wasn't charging I only noticed when we stopped for fuel and shut it off on restart it rolled over pretty slow

mines a PSD

Oh in that case I don't know probably a bit less how are you do you have to drive ?

 

[m67tang]

I’m needing about 35 miles

I don't know I would assume if the batteries are fully charged and you won't be sitting in traffic and can just zip on over you would make it but on the other I'd want a rescue plan in place like freind or wife who could give you a jump if your battery dies

Got it home this morning. It drove the whole way, about 35 miles.
