There is about a 1/2-volt drop across the diode, and this means the alternator is not correctly reading the battery's charge.
As a result you could have some battery issues. I'd not expect it to be a problem if you don't drive the truck much. If you use the truck frequently I'd expect it to decrease battery life because the battery is always being over-charged.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
