re alternators. Mine is a 74P with air Mike. I can sit in Flordia at 90+ degrees without a problem and with the air running. Both alternators are putting out about 10 amps each on the ground at low idle.
Re overheat. Make sure you do not lean the engines when this hot. USe fuel cooling to assist in keeping the CHTs down.
A trick I have at TEB and other airports is using the handheld to get atis and clearance. I then switch to ground an ask if an immediate departure is available due to potential heating problem with rear engine. I usually get their cooperation, otherwise I just ask to remain on the ramp until a slot is available. This saves sitting around at idle waiting for hell to freeze over.
HATE TEB. They jockey you all over the east coast at 4k ft. !!!!
