I agree it is a load somewhere on the system. However, it could very possibly be a bad voltage regulator as well on one of the alternators. I think it is glow plug related, but just wanted to mention what to check next if you find everything ok.

Here are some more pictures.

Check the metal lines running along the engine valley between the pump and the filter for rust holes. Check al the metal lines from the tank up actually.

Glen, are you really trying to sell some bolster trailers? I know somebody, not me, that wants one real bad is why I ask.

The back light for the gauges are a completly different problem. Except for 1 wire. The ground for the dash lights and about 20 other things on the truck is bolted to the top of the parking brake pedal bracket. Crawl under there, remove the bolt, clean the metal and make sure that ground is...

The theory is that number 10001 was the first truck off the line in 1967. Yours isn't far behind. Is there a build date on the data plate?

14.4 is what you should have at each battery. Something seems to be bad with that one alt.

I am at my sons band concert tonight. Hopefully I will get better pictures tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.

What are you getting for voltages at each battery with the truck running and everything hooked up? Is the red wire at the bolt post on the back of ALT 2 always hot with 12V? It seems to me that your truck wiring is ok. That means no matter what autozone said, you have a problem in your...

I am not an expert of glow plugs either. However, you fail to mention when you tell everybody about how bad the 60G's are a few things. Such as you are running 50% or more non diesel fuel in your truck, you had intermittent power problems recently with your engine and you posted something...

They didn't start it, but it sure looks like the V and the gun truck were part of the huge brush fire the pyrotechnics for the show did start on Saturday in my picture below. 4 hour delay while around 20 fire trucks put it out.

Flashers on would drain the front battery. What do you need the gear puller for. Unbolting everything and it should come right off.

The passenger side alternator charges the rear battery. That is ALT 2. With the plug on the alternator un plugged. You should have 12 volts on the red wire with the key on or off. The brown wire should be 0 with the key off and 12 volts with the key on. If you are getting that, the problem...

Yes, BFG 33x12.50-15 A/T tires are on mine with stock rims.

Glad you got it going. Congrats to the daughter!

I just used a piece of 1" flat iron, bent it over and around the stock throttle bracket and put some holes in it.

Congrats to both of you Rory!

Is it the front or rear battery? Front could mean anything from lights to key left on. Rear is harder to explain.

I would suggest a different calculator. I just plugged your sizes into this one and got way different answers: Randy's Ring & Pinion. RPM Calculator. I would also suggest measuring your tires and using that as a guide instead of a number from the internet.

No, it is not that big of a puzzle. We both know the short is between the steering wheel and the seat. Sorry Taylor. I have been trying to work that line into a post for years and this thread just called out for it.
