This is true, I went through 4 alternators and 6 batteries before I found this out.

I guess this is somewhat related, but does anyone know how to fix a speedo that is off by about 7mph? I was told to pace with someone at 60mph and then just reposition the needle. Any truth to that?



That is how I re-calibrated my speedo when I replaced the instrument cluster. I just leave the cover off and pull the needle almost completely off. Find a nice quite streach of road, set the cruise, pull the needle all the way off and put it back on pointing at the correct speed.
