2002 super duty charging
I have a 2002 7.3 diesel super duty with a charging system problem.the system does not start charging as soon the vehicle starts, It could take a up to 2 or 3 minutes before it will charge and then the output is @14.3 volts.
Has new batteries, new alternator, cables clean. Whatis left to check to fix problem

I would take the alternator in to be checked. It is not uncommon to get a bad alt out of the box. But first check the belt to make sure it is not starting to slip. Could be when cold...it slips until warmed up then grabs enough to spin the alt the right speed. Also make sure ALL pulleys that the belt goes over turns freely and doesn't bind.

The charging system isn't magic. It's the alternator....just the alternator......period. It either charges or it doesn't. The only thing that governs the alternator output is the engine speed/belt speed. Nothing outside of the alternator governs the output or switches it on or off.
I agree with the above recommendation, you have a faulty alternator.
