Using a volt meter check the battery when it is running. If it isn't high 13 low 14 volt your alternator is probably bad.

What voltage did your OBD2 provide?Thx. will do.
Hey, checked the battery while engine running and 11.3 volts. Charging battery now, will replace alternator.What voltage did your OBD2 provide?
Report back after checking voltage at the battery with the engine off, and on..... before throwing parts at it.
Right on, sounds like you are on the right track. The replacement isn't too bad, I think I wiggled mine out from underneath with a bit of patience. I recall the wire harness being a pain in the ass to not bust off but it's all do-able.Hey, checked the battery while engine running and 11.3 volts. Charging battery now, will replace alternator.
Which do you recommend, 80A or 100A?Using a volt meter check the battery when it is running. If it isn't high 13 low 14 volt your alternator is probably bad.
I didn't realize we had options. I would go with the higher amp option assuming it is a direct fit replacement. Are you buying aftermarket? What brand?Which do you recommend, 80A or 100A?

The Tundra's that have towing package use higher amp alternators. Not sure if this applies with the LCs.I didn't realize we had options. I would go with the higher amp option assuming it is a direct fit replacement. Are you buying aftermarket?
