Well I got the altenator back in the truck today. 


Pulled some numbers with my cheap-o voltmeter.


With the truck running and my electric fuel pump on I read:

13.85 volts at the Altenator

12.78 volts at the Battery


With the truck running and all my accesories going (fuel pump, electric fan, head lights, mojave heater)

12.03 at the Altenator

11.9 at the Battery. 


Doesn't this seem ass backwards?  Shouldn't the altenator be cranking out more with all the accesories running?


But after letting the truck run for 5 minutes, the altenator pumped out enough juice to the point I didn't need to jump start the truck any more.
