alternator questions
OK, my batttery is toast, stick a fork in it. It barely makes 11 volts while driving. Idling at stoplights it falls down around 9 volts. How can i check my alternator to see if it is also going south? I know its getting heavy use because of the terminal battery that is running lights, radio, and windshield wipers.
This leads to my next question. Shortly after starting it, there is this god awful ghostly sounding whail coming from the passenger side of the truck. And after i turn the truck off, there is a fast tick tick tick noise coming from the same area that slowly dies away. I honestly don't know exactly where the alternator is, but since the battery is on the right, im assuming the alternator is over there too. The belt worn maybe? Pully worn? Any ideas are welcome.
