Recently I've noticed that during the night, lights on, when the truck goes idle, lights go a little dim, and the voltage goes around 12 volts. The alternator has been rebuilt recently. Is something wrong with the charging system???

When I've seen this it was the battery cables.
You have the 90amp? I didn't think the 80 could be rebuilt.
Like landtank said check your cables, that was my culprit.

Are you saying that they were loose or they needed replacing? I have similar symptoms both with old battery and the new one and after alt replaced.

Now that you mentioned the cables, mine don't look too good. I'll look into this tomorrow. Also the battery I have no idea how old it is.

Yes I have the 90 Amp with a heavier duty stator. Wires look thicker. The battery came with the truck, so I have no idea how old it is..

I think you may have identified part of your problem there. You have had that truck for a while now haven't you?

I just went with a Die Hard Platinum from Sears, it's a re-bagded Odyssey. Everyone seems to praise them, going with another as soon as I get my dual kit in.
