alternator

Shouldn't the alternator be warm to the touch after a long ride?

Re: alternator

Not any warmer than anything else under the hood. It does most of its work right after the truck starts up. On a longer drive the only output is just to keep up with ignition, climate control, stereo. And if at night the lights.
