sure sounds like it, but just in case I'll see what mud thinks.
the bad alternator light came on suddenly today, along with the at overheat and oil lights. I stopped the truck and afterwards it turned over strongly but would not start. changed the efi relay for the spare and it made no difference. a while later it started but idled very poorly at about 450 rpm with the trouble lights off, but ran apparently normally. I limped it home where the lights came on again and it died across the street
I have checked all the connections and can find nothing bad. there is a small rad hose weep from the top rad hose close enough to the alternator for it to have sprayed there.
