Hello:
I have a question. I have been having problems with my F350. I got new batteries, but have been running them down when I plow. I got a Boss V Plow. I did a test on the alternator as described in my Chilton book a couple weeks ago and it passed. The truck has been fine until yesterday when it died when I lifted the plow. I checked the batteries and I think they were at 11.6 I charged them and had 12.8 or so when I went out there today. After start up it was at 11.9 and only got a little higher than that, stayed under 12, which to me means my alternator is shot. I plowed snow in the yard for 5 minutes and shut it down. I had 11.75 volts then. I went back out 2 hours later and had 12.4 volts. Can anyone explain that to me? Where does that voltage come from to go from 11.75 to 12.4?
I started the truck and it went down to 11.8. Ran it for 10 minutes and shut it off. It immediately went a little over 12 and now two hours later it is about 12.3. I don't know how I am gaining voltage, but I see a pattern here. I would guess I have a few more starts and will be in the same boat where it doesn't start.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
