[QUOTE="30Hertz, post: 7683432, member: 634544"] Ya I'm having issues again with my electricals too. Tis' the season apparently haha. The reading I'm getting from the voltmeter and DMM from the amp fluctuate. When it's cold, everythings kosher, but spratically while driving the voltage drops from 14.8v to 13.1 and sometimes as low as 11.9 when I'm stopped. A week ago, everything was good to go, never dropped below 13.5 at a stop. Brand new Mechman 220amp with an old *** Kinetik HC2000 battery When I read my battery at the front with the truck on, its sitting around 14.1v when a week ago it was sitting at 14.8v. When I look at what my alternators are getting in the bed, its sitting around 13.1 to 13.8v, when a week ago it was the same as the reading on the batt. Gonna recheck my grounds to make everythings good on this Monday when I'm off work. Checked the belt on my alternator, its tight. If all else fails I'll load test the battery or just buy a new one to see. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pissed.gif.9f665f96bc89e98e708dabd4580bb591.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
