Low Fluid level, sensor issues, low voltage.

I had trouble with the RABS light coming on on my old 91 F250 for years, I could never find anything wrong with the brake system.

During that time the truck had an annoying appetite for alternators as well.

After the 3rd one, I finally put a 95A alternator on instead of replacing the 65A unit....

Problem solved.

The truck probably should have had the 95A all along.
I had bought it used, so I never knew what it SHOULD have had.
It was an XLT Lariat, so I'm thinking it sould have had more than 65A with power windows and all.....
