Battery registered in the 1250 range. Started the vehicle and the multi meter was very eratic shooting between 900 and 1500. I could'nt get a steady reading. Now, being an electrical moron with a multimeter I don't know what this means. Is the alternator not working properly or is it my voltage regulator or something else. Bruce My Trucks Stuff I Collect If it doesn't matter if you win or loose.......why do they keep score?
