Well I had a bad afternoon went to start the truck no go. I had a buddy
jump me it would start but as soon as i let off the gas it would
die.Went and bought a new battery and it fired right up and drove
home.What i am wondering now is how do i test the alternator? I have
read the haynes manual and it says to use a volt meter with truck off
and then running and compare the two. Is this a ok test to determine a
bad alternator? Also what alternator is best for my truck
They have 117A and a 136A?
