I have had a 2000 F350 diesel for going on three years. I bought it with a known engine issue. That turned into needing a complete remaned engine or good used one. Finally found a 95K used motor. Had a local shop do all the work. After we got it running the motor runs great. We only have had it back on the road for 5-6 weeks, less than 2000 miles. The rest of the truck keeps giving me problems now.
AC system failed when it got hot. Bad compressor and condenser.
Power steering pump blew the shaft seal. Had to replace the complete pump as the shaft was roughed up.
Right rear wheel studs broke off lost the rims completely. Ruined the hub, rims, brake rotor and caliper.
Now the current issue. Last week the battery light came on. Checked an alternator was not charging. Replaced the alternator. Battery light went out. Volt meter reads half way between the 8 and 18 volt numbers so that would be around 12-13 volts??? Thursday I went to move a tractor with the truck and trailer. The hydraulic tail just barely had enough voltage to work one time. This is charged from the pickup system. So I thought that there was an issue in the power wire going back to the trailer or the fuse for the trailer power supply. Checked that out and everything is fine. Checked the pickup's battery voltage 10.5 to 11 volts at the battery. So Low when not running. Start the truck and the batteries do not charge. The alternator has battery voltage at the power terminal on the back when it is not running. When started it jumps up to 13.5 volts at the power terminal on the back of the alternator. Volt meter in the cab show increase when running. Battery light goes out. The charge is not getting back to the batteries. The batteries will power everything in the cab when the truck is not running.
The trailer has a built in charger you can run off 110 volt. I plugged it in and left it set over night. I had forgotten to unplug the trailer cord from the pickup. The trailer charger charged both the truck batteries and the trailer battery. So that should mean that circuit is fine.
So how am I getting power from the batteries but not getting any charge back to them from the trucks charging system???? It seems to show charge voltage inside the cab. This has me baffled.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
