I already ordered new everything. Here's the story anyway. My batteries have been dead in the AM a few times recently. Not having to work today I put them on a slow charge all day.
After the charger said "full" I checked the voltage and found the following.
No load, nothing on voltage was 15.5 (Not exactly what I was expecting.)
Key on, glow plugs running voltage was 14.8
Truck running, glow plugs on was 14.2
After glow plug shut down I jumped to 18 VOLTS. (NOT what I was expecting)
I was expecting the problem was low voltage, but it appears high can be a problem too?? So a large case 140a alternator is on the way. Luckily shipped from my own state and won't take long.
