I read on this forum once that they are not a good idea? I can't remember why but the person said they are great for newer model Toyotas because their alternator output is so low but no good for our Patrols.Quote:

More and more vehicles are now running their Alternator Output thru the ECU. This allows them to lower the voltage which means less load and saves fuel and reduces emissionsQuote:
