[QUOTE="ReggieT, post: 1043547, member: 74258"] Checking the charging system is pretty basic and easy. Before starting the truck, just check the battery voltage with a volt meter or multi meter. Note the voltage. Should be around 12-12.5 volts. Then start the truck and check it again. Should be somewhere between 13.5 and 15 volts. If it does not increase or goes down, then the alt is probably the culprit. If it does increase, the battery is probably the culprit. I say probably, because nothing is certain but the chances of it being something else are pretty slim. [/QUOTE]
