OK, cruising back from a day at the gun range, i notice my "battery light" flashing on the dash. So i shut off the A/C and radio and monitored the volt meter as i drove.

The volt meter seemed to be reading slightly high but other than that no issues.

Made it home after driving some 40+ miles. But the "idiot light" continued to alternate between flashing and staying on, to going off altogether while stopped.

The truck is a 2000, F-150 XLT extended cab 4x4 5.7 v8 w/137k miles

First, where do i start checking? Second? is this something to get major worried about or do i just drive as normal.

I had planned on driving another 90 or so miles tomorrow to do some trout fishing before summer classes start on monday.

HELP!!!!!

 

could i please get a mod to move this post to the right place...

it needs to be in with 2000 f-150 v-8 section.

sorry!!!
