over the winter i noticed the truck was gettin hard to turn over in the winter but i thought i would be able to hold out gettin batteries. well i finally had to get some this weekend. however, with finally monitoring my volt meter i notice that while driving it will stay right around 14volts but at idle will get offly close to the major line before it has the gap and then 8volts.
does this mean that my alternator is havin a hard time keepin up when it doesn't have the motor spinnin it good? should i take it off and have it tested at advanced auto or somp like that? don't want to get stranded or shorten the life of these batteries.
Thanks
