2003 Ram 2500 5.7L with Hiniker Plow.
The last couple of times I have gone out to plow, I have noticed that when I pick the plow up, my battery gauge drops dramatically.
I am not sure if its my alternator going or just a weak battery. I am not sure of the age of the battery, I have only had the truck a year. I am also not sure if the truck has the 130A or 160A Alternator?
I came back out the following day of 45 mins of plowing zero degree weather, and it wouldn't start, had to have charger on it for a few hours.
Is the battery gauge showing voltage of battery or alternator?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you,
Steve
