- 95 civic, 2000 explorer
I have a 2000 ford explorer sport with the 4.0 OHV. The truck has a slight pulse in the headlights and the instrument guage, and the battery guage is no longer in the middle but reading up high right underneath of the high level. when i drove it yesterday i noticed the battery guage was starting to go up to the high end so i turned around and drove the half mile back home and parked it. I turned it on this morning and the battery guage read high so i shut it off. I replaced my alternator 3 months ago because the other had a weird sound like one of the bearings went bad. Everthing was working well until the slight pulse started last week and now the high battery gauge issue... My mechanic who i trust is about 40 miles away from my home. Is this something i can drive out 40 miles down the highway to see my mechanic or do i have to hope i can limp it a few miles to a local shop and shell out big bucks. Will my battery fry my electric system when it fails if it does? Anyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
