Hi everyone, I'm having some issues with the voltage in my deuce. It's a '66 Kaiser with the Hercules multifuel engine. It came with a generator, which is where my problem started. One night the truck just died, and found the batteries completely drained. Replaced the generator for a civilian 24v alternator, which i bought from Tim at Wolverine Technologies. The alternator started charging at idle, but after a few hours running, it did the same thing. So, new alternator, new ground straps, cleaned every ground connection I could find in the truck, put new batteries and cleaned battery leads. Started the truck, hooked my volt meter and started charging, slowly but charging. But as soon as I turned my lights on, sure enough it started to drop voltage like a hot potato and when I would accelerate, it would drop voltage even faster!!! I dying over here trying to figure out this thing and I don't know what else I can do or what could be causing the problem. Any advice will be greatly appreciated
