My cousin is driving my 350sdl from nj to ca.
Currently in Barstow ca (only ~150 miles to go!), he calls to tell me he has lost all electric power.
Gradual loss as in the guage cluster playing tricks before full failure.
He is currently looking to buy a battery to run the lights for the last 2 hours or so.
I think it has to do w/ the alt. as the batt. is only 2 months old (bosche from pepboys).

Is there a piece to the alternator to check or is it better to just replace the whole thing?
