no voltage

[Marshall]

i was driving around last night and when i turned my lights on and then all the sudden when i would come to a stop my voltage would drop really low and the truck would end up stalling, the voltage seems to get lower when even the blinkers are on also, i am not sure whats goin on but how could i fix this problem, anyone?

Thanks, Marshall

check the voltage to the battery from the alternator...how does it crank? slow?

um i dunno it takes like 3-4 seconds to start how do i check from the alternator to the battery?

get a voltmeter, start the truck and check how many volts the battery has at idle...before you do that check how many volts the battery has when the truck is off, then check how many volts at like 2200rpms...should be about 13-14 or so when charging..

ya i checked standalone batt. power is 12.77 volts and from alternator to battery it is 14.35 volts. so i guess i am fine? let me know.

Thanks, Marshall

check to see if you have a lose wire off your starter. Mine did the samething and I had a wire come off my starter.
