Driving my 2004 2500 on a road trip and I'm well over 2 days from home. Started having issues and need advice.
Has been fine for 30-40hrs of on the road driving. Parked for 2 hours, restart and the battery light is on, scangauge shows 12.2V with engine running. I drive it a bit, turn it off restart, drive, nothing.... I'm an hour from an auto parts store (Olympic National Forest) so I drive it using the rear battery and solar to keep engine voltage above 12v, which works. I pull into town after an hour of driving at 12.0-12.2v and I hear a whiring type of noise and the voltage jumps back up to 13.8 and everything is good to go...
I'm going to buy a new 150a alternator because NAPA has one and I don't want to get stranded.
What do you guys think?
