volts are volts and watts are watts

If you tell me this while I work on electrical problem on these vehicles I'll shit yourself.

My shop spent a month yelling at our parts because they said "the alternator has the same electrical requirement. Why wouldn't it work?" We put it in, and it didn't work. Wow crazy! Did you know signals are just pulses. These shit ass companies can make it so if you use anything but proprietary garbage it just won't work.

I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at Ford once again being your typical company.
