well good news i got to work today , thought about how this thing is wired ,,, changed out lil square relay and be damn its charging... 13.5 what or why someone did this to this truck is beyond me .... i did notice after shut down the engine my fluke meter started dropping voltage down to 12.0 so i still have something draining batteries... i still thing its the relay thing doing that too ,but ill have to trace every wire and see where they lead and maybe with yalls help fix that problem.... again thanks
ok but remeber i got a new alt had problems , only 11.8 charging.... took a alt i tested running off a running appentice 310 knuckle boom with same engine cummins 6bta it ran 11.8 charging.. the new alt is on the running appentice charging 13.8 the old is on the one we are talking about now is 13.4... i see what you are sayying but why did the lil relay change things .. no way can a tested i saw output alt go from 13 volts to 11.8 with just a relay change
me too ,,,atco im running the 310 cutting logs part time and being a tech full time,,, im stressed im sorry,,, workplace has down sized and im asked to saw logs with 310 and radioed if anything breaksdown ..... guess i need to leave work at work
