Alt was whining when spinning for a few weeks. Battery light went on. Alt wasnt charging battery while running.
Got new alt. Broken plastic female plug. Returned
2nd alt. Good plug. Started truck. Battery light came on. Put on load tester. Wasn't charging battery.
3rd alt. Started. Went for drive. Battery light came on along with airbag, trac control, abs lights. Turned around went home. Not charging battery. Battery at or under 12volts while trucks running. Turned off. Truck wouldnt start.
Put in brand new charged battery. Truck started. Battery still at 12. Alt not charging while running.
Checked wires for splits / frays. All looks well.
Talked to local mechanic. Says he ggets 3 bad alts or starters often. Not uncommon.
Lordco thinks im a smooth brained mouth breather who cant install an alternator.
Any ideas? Opinions. Thanks.
