So today I was pushing my truck hard, real hard. And getting up to 6 grand rpm or whatever the battery light kept flashing. I didnt notice any problems power wise, but is that an alternator sign?
I'm 200 miles from home and on a surprise trip and don't want to spend the cash on a new alternator unless I have to.

 

Hate to say it but it does sound like alt. is starting to go. Mine did the same thing. Before changing check your belt, that could be slipping.

 

6 grand lol. Yea, that's pushing it hard.

 

Yeah that's what I figured. I'm at 110k and I've replaced everything except the alternator and belt.

But yeah, it's been a rough *** week on the truck, but it's emergency after emergency and the trucks holding up well.
