Hey, no problem man..I was just glad that they are still functioning properly per your advice. I see what you mean about the batteries being directly proportional to the energy balance of the alternators output because the alternator was reading a higher output with each time I ran the truck and...

So, I finally got a chance to go run the truck on two different days this weekfor about 20 mins each time. First day I was reading 24.8V resting and on the second I went back they were reading 25.6V and I ran it another 20 mins and when I turned the truck off they were resting at 26.2V?? I was...

Ok will do. It may not be until the weekend that i can get back to the truck, but I will report back and thanks.

Ok, so here were the readings at the battery terminals(not converter in truck). 24.6V with truck off. 24.7V @650rpm(idle) 25.4V@950rpm 27.2V@1250rpm Interesting that it's not really any different running at idle then turned off I thought. What do these readings tell you overall though?

I wasnt aware that the batteries could be that low, so Im going to check the readings at the individual battery terminals with truck not running tonight. The readings I got were inside of the truck at the 24 to 12V Converter output terminals...so will get back with you tomorrow. Also, I have let...

hey Clint, The batteries were newly installed the same time as the alternator from NAPA..so no issue there. Everyone is telling me its simply a pulley issue with regards to the voltage output readings. Voltage readings at my 24 to 12V converter terminals were...... 23.6V@low idle/600RPM...

So, I purchased an 100amp Delco alternator from 74M35A2 almost two years ago and only got it put on about a year ago. Of course it has to be idled at 1200rpm to produce what it should at 750rpm and I havent used the truck hardly at all this year and now is the time to confront this issue before...

Well, you were right!!! After all of this time thats went by, thats exactly what the problem was. However, Fleetpride had a different take on why the transmission bracket was making contact. They said it looked like my cab was tilted back slightly, so they unbolted the two rear cab mounts and...

Wow, very interesting to hear this could be the problem with mine...especially if it was making the same noise and temp sensitive. Youve got my hope up now lol...hoping it wont be crushed again next week ha! This will be the first thing I have them look at next Monday

Was yours temp sensitive like mine is? When its hot out it does it right away, but if I take it out in colder weather like now I have to romp on it for at least 5 minutes before it starts to get bad...so it has to be warmed up to be fully revealed. I'm defnitley gonna have the those mounts...

All of those things have been eliminated and the problem has to do with the RPM of the speed of the shafts turning. It gets worse the more torque is placed on the truck under acceleration..especially on grades. I'm definitley gonna have Fleetpride check the rear Transmission mounts next week though.

Hmmm interesting, as it sounds like a design flaw. Ill have them check that out.

Hmmm, the jackshaft is the only thing that has never been pulled out of my truck for obvious reasons of course lol, but I have wondered about it being the weak link with my problem. Was your jackshaft issue temperature sensitive like my issue? The colder it is, the longer it takes before it...

Well, the technical schools checked it and said there were no loose bolts. The teacher there thinks that it is the flywheel causing my problem after pulling all of the shafts and other troubleshooting with the T case. Others disagree with that and Fleetpride is just flat out clueless at this...

I see you have a Frankencab like mine too. See if your problem sounds anything like mine in the videos I posted. Trust me it has been an ordeal that I never dreamed of trying to get it fixed as you can see in my thread.
