Thanks Ben & Tom,
I had to use the truck for work today and the mechanic wasn't in when I stopped by in the morning so I decided to pull the alternator plug and the batt idiot light went off, so alternator almost certainly isn't charging. I cranked the truck probably 10-12 times today and the volt meter on the dash showed *almost* no movement from 12-13volts. I am going to put the charger on it again overnight and dop it off tomorrow. Chances of me finding an alternator here are slim to none, so going to let the mechanic see if he can replace the brushes. They DO have brushes, right? If $40 in labor buys me another year I'll be happy and it'll give me time to ship a new one down.
Thanks again for the assistance, all who've answered.
David.
late '99 PSD, Crew w only intake/ batt box and headlight mods, btw.
Everything else stock, but still love it!
