[QUOTE="66novals3, post: 8553843, member: 672504"] Thanks you guy again for the replies!! Rectifier is failing, I'm starting to realize auto electric shops know how to disassemble, test, rebuild but not really what is going on & how it all works. These are small 3g cases. The auto electric shop said the rectifiers were cheap & small... Hoped that was my issue... No so. I made the cables, lug ends soldered crimped & heat shrunk. They turned out really well. I do have different gauge wires, I will redo if you think it's necessary. What engine do you have? I've read nothing but bad things with my truck & alternators. I've read tons of threads with bone stock trucks like mine going through several alternators before finding one that works. I've literally never had issues with Aftermarket alternators, from here on out, I'm going to the dealer. Ouch dude, 6 alts. I feel you on that! I have heard of issues with optimas and agm batteries as a whole. They like to be charged on waves instead of direct current and take a lot longer to charge, but discharge slower. [/QUOTE]
