I’ve owned this gem for about three months. About a month ago, I noticed the dash voltage meter bounce a little and the lights get a little brighter and the fan speed up...just a little. Every once in a while, when I first start the truck, the volt meter jumps right to about 30v and stays there. The battery light is on, and oddly the turbo lights in the tachometer also come on. I’ll turn off the engine and restart...volt meter reads normal, most of the time. Lately, I’ve had to turn it off and on a couple tomes before it stays normal.
somethings wonky with my electrical charging system. After reading about the voltage regulator and alternator, I think I’m headed down the road of replacing my alternator first. Any advice, or other ideas?
