Hello.
I have been working on my F350, have been having some problems with my batteries running down with my Boss Plow on there.
I have a Chilton manual, and I was curious about my alternator so I ran a test on the charging system the other day. I checked the battery voltage before I started the truck and I had 12.6 volts. The truck had not been running for at least as full day. I started the truck and immediately checked it again and had 11.6 volts. The truck was at idle, 700 rpms.
My manual says the voltage after I start should be higher than the voltage before I start. I cannot understand that. Can anyone explain that to me?
In a couple minutes the truck increases the idle to 1000 rpms and at that point the voltage is around 14, maybe that is what the manual is referring to?
Anyway, I did the check like it says, turned on everything, even left the interior light on, and had around 13. 7 volts at 2000 rpms like it says to do.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
