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, 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...
