Bruce Amacker Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 No codes? Is the regulator pigtail perfect? I've seen those replaced before to fix problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 It's rare to see charging problems on these even when they have a snow plow that pulls super high amps. What is alerting you to an intermittent charging concern?, gage low?, truck won't crank at times? Going thru two alternators on the same truck is even more rare. Are they Ford units?

Jim Warman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ah, yes... Ford loves the ohmmeter. FWIW, the ohmmeter is overrated, overused and nearly worthless as a diagnostic tool. Use this as a good reason to learn to properly perform and decipher voltage drop testing. Once you get the hang of it, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

scott1984 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 I uselly do a volt drop with a load 8 amp fog light but I cant find it no where time to retool I guess. And yeah I use ford alt only. 6.0ls aftermarket alts just cant hang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
