my 62 is driving fine when all of a sudden my brake light, battery light and ATF light come on. My battery gauge shows a lower voltage reading than normal, and my temp gauge is reading higher than normal. I have a dual battery setup and my posts regarding the AT are well known. No issues driving. AT is not hotter than usual. Engine is not hot. Truck is driving fine. Note: I did jump start my wife's ford using the cruiser two nights ago. Drove 180 miles just fine yesterday. Has to be an electrical issue, right??
Electrical issue??

I don't know the belt layout on this engine, but check the belt(s) first.
Next, do you have a way to check the alternator output? If not, many auto parts stores will check it/.
Next, check the fuseable links coming off the battery terminal. You may have blown it doing the jump.

Did it make any noise when the belt broke? Good thing it was just the belt right?

Alternator belt broke. Didn't make a sound. However, the broken belt caused the the drive belt to come off the fan pulley. Not good. Had it towed to a shop. Need to start carrying extra belts and tools for the job.
