It's either the alternator or the voltage regulator. I multimetered the battery and it's putting out 12 amps. I started the truck and turned on the fan and lights and it went to 10.2 amps. I then had the wife hold the pedal down at 3000 rpms, enough to engage the alternator and it didn't move from 10.2 amps when it should have gone to about 14 as the alternator charged the battery. Either the alternator is gone or the voltage regulator isn't telling the alternator to charge the battery. I stopped before I read to pull the battery wire off the battery to see if the alternator kept the engine running. That's tomorrow.
