Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the 350 to ship off for repairs. Getting cam and valvetrain gone over / replaced. Fely good to be wrenching on the ol gal. Now I have to see what all I will need to fix or replace while the engines out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I want to drive my truck ... but problem : new battery, new regulator, but same issue, low battery after some miles. it seems to me that battery passes off by driving, not in the stop !
any idea ? is it possible that the starter puts itself in short circuit and empties the battery by driving ? I drive only by the day, and just after 10 miles, good new battery is empty ![]() thanks for help

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You should open a new thread in the electrical section for this. Have you tested the voltage output of your charging system both at an idle and at driving speed?

Alternator testing is far easier than most think .
Did you place a volt meter across the battery terminals when it's running ? . That's just one of many tests . More if you but ask .

Sounds like the alternator/regulator are not adjusted correctly It would be good to see what the differences in the voltage are while driving or what is coming out of the alternator. As mentioned a small multimeter check across the battery terminals to watch your voltage draw/changes at RPMs is a quick easy way to go. Also are you required to drive with your lights on all the time over there?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
100% won't be the starter causing charging system problems, it would have to run with the engine and you would know that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
thanks to you, will verify the charge when engine is running ; battery is charged this morning, so I hope i can start my engine.
battery gauge (factory) doesn't work correctly ==> always good... what is to say "Sounds like the alternator/regulator are not adjusted correctly" ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
OK, I bought a regulator item 36-2520 at LMC store. it is not precised for which Ah it is. I thought it was a standard one, because it fits with electrical plugs.
i've any information regarding alternator. Perhaps it's a high Ah powered and the standard regulator does'nt work with. So do I change the alternator to a standard like item 36-2760-Z (LMC store) ? First I have to see if charge works or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Then, started my truck. ... 13V, no change when I accelerate !
solutions : 1- condensator ? (not changed) 2- alternator ? 3- regulator ? ==> new one ==> before I changed it, when accelerate alternator gave 18V !!!
