Alternators
Can anyone tell me how to check to see if my alternator is working? I'm not sure what size it is (no markings that I can read). The engine is a 1999~ series 60 DDEC.
I had a tech check it and what he did was to put a volt meter on it first to test the battery. Then he put an amp meter clamp around the red cable as I ran the engine; it read 20 amps. He said that the alternator was working properly.
My volt meter on the dash shows 12V when driving @ 65 mph, but when I start the generator it will run up to 13.5+. Why?
