i had a fusible link issue a couple weeks ago. i replace the fusible link with an inline fuse. then one day my speedo and odometer stopped working and my radio kept shut off and turning back on. so i checked the battery and it was at 4.96 volts. so i bought a 800 cca marine battery. I drove home and unplugged the battery then drove to school and unplugged the battery then when home and when i was going to work the truck would start. my moms school bus didnt even jump it. I charged the battery back up on a small trickle charger and then installed a new alternator and its not reading 14 volts like it should. im not sure where to go from here. all the connections on the alternator seem fine and clean. im not that good with electrical ive installed my gauges, my FASS, and my radio. thats about it.
the battery is at 11.9-12.1 volts right now and it will start now ive started it about four times today to test the alternator again and its still only ready 12 volts. the guy that helped me with my getrag swap said that i dont have a regulator in mine truck.
just put a getrag in my truck i want to get this ironed out so i can get to driving my new 5 speed
any info is greatly appreciated.
