Thank you...

There's a few guys on here that have helped me since being a proud owner of my 6.0

Must say you all probably saved me a new set of batteries and a fcim today.

Was driving today and looking at my torque app as I always do and noticed yesterday that my battery voltage was down a little. Think it was 12.9 at idle. I new that was low and so when I got home I pulled out my volt meter and checked my batteries (brand new) and they read 13.1 wko. So started the truck and tested and alt. Said it was at 13.2 and i figured it was ok.

Well today I was driving home and again at idle at a red light my volts were at 12.2. I new right there I was draining my batteries and could damage my fcim. Ran up to auto zone and had them test alt while in truck and sure enough it was toast.

Upgraded to a 140 amp at a high price of 200$ lifetime replacement. I know that's high as I would normally get it online but I need the truck running.

Moral of the story.. I would never even thought about the torque app or fcim.. or delta .. temps. . Egr delete.. stc.. ect. And everything else you all have taught me if it wasn't for you all. I'm starting to feel like I know my truck and how it tics.
Huge thank you for the time and effort. Thank you!
