    Low voltage - what else can I check?

    I believe that it turned out to be partially a ground issue. I made a ground from negative side of battery to finder. So my thinking is a ground that I checked may actually be bad.

    Low voltage - what else can I check?

    Ok progress! It's running now between 13v and 14v took it up and down the road and everything held. Seems to drop and 12v when I turned it off started it several times back to back. The speed monitor jumped when turning key on just for a second.

    Low voltage - what else can I check?

    Ok played with the wires and all again today. Somehow the voltage is holding and truck isn't cutting off. Alternator is whining high pitched noise. It gets hot to touch quick. The big wire off of it is hot though.

    Low voltage - what else can I check?

    I'm thinking its a loose wire. Going down the road the door in the dash that clicks when you turn switch on kept clicking over and over. Then got on shoulder of the road were the wake up bumps are the speed,etc goes crazy. And trying to shut off.

    Cable ends are good /clean. The postive side is little rusty but has been that way for some years. I failed to mention that I had a wire that goes to junction block burn into because of wire going from junction block to starter
