I've got a 2005 f-350SD and the charging light on the dash has been coming on lately. it doesn't stay on long. A quick tap on the throttle turns the light out. I pulled the codes and it's throwing a "P1148 Generator 2 Control Circuit".
I didn't realize that we have generators and not alternators under the hood.
I'm suspecting it's time for a new generator but wanted to run it by the forum for feedback.

 

Dc power alternators are one of the best

 

GENERATER ALTERNATOR

Same thing

 

I thought generators created DC voltage and alternators created AC.

 

It IS an alternator. There is a rectifier inside that changes the output to DC.

 

Im shure there a Diffrence According to NASA

So Dont beat me up to bad

 

no. iirc the story i heard was alternator was a dodge trademark and later became a common "correct word"
