Yes, cranking up AC and the high beams just after starting isn't going to kill the alternator anytime soon, but it may shave 10-20 percent of its life expectancy off. To those who trade often this won't ever be a problem for them, so they don't see the validity of the argument. Plus it's hard to guage what "normal" service life is.
So to answer your question, yes, it makes a difference. No, it's not enough of a difference to matter to 98 percent of the population. | |
