I have that switch too, but unless I have to drive hours and hours after dark, my alt best is usually off completely.

It didn't come with cruise or A/C (although I would have pulled it if it did)
Its a V8, but it only gets 170HP (or it did new) and I pull some pretty big loads with it, so I wouldn't reduce it to 4 cylinders even if it would save fuel - my first priority is always its ability to do truck work
