@renocide You make a good point.

The Balmar (second alternator) is designed specifically to output high amperage at low RPM's (1150+), idle speed. That doesn't happen without it putting a load on the engine.

As someone mentioned, I'm betting that the Promaster computer takes engine operating conditions into account for oil change intervals.

Yet I still am wondering about all the other maintenance items, since these units will probably be run at idle a bit more than most engines.

All that would be nice to know, at the end of the day I plan on staying inside the recommended maintenance intervals; just to be on the conservative side.
