Buddy came over to help last night. Battery showed 12.7v. Started the truck and Died immediately when we disconnect the neutral. Checked the alternator. Was only putting out 11v? So we checked all terminations and the voltage regulator. Cleaned contacts on the voltage regulator. Put it all back together and then showed 13v on the alternator. So hopefully that fixed the dead battery issue
