check all your fuses first. under hood and in the truck. then check all the links at the box near the battery. mike

Where is the voltage regulator in this system?
On some it's in the computer itself & can go bad, causing charging issues.

sounds like a fuse or a bad ground. also check the wire harness from alt to underhood distribution block.

I had a 81 Toy with the same problem. Everything tested good, even the fuses. Found out by chance that the fuse was sitting exactly between the contacts without touching them. I bent the tabs over a little, and problem solved.

I also have seen an alternator test good and replace it and it was all better.

I have checked fuses all are good. I have also researched this and I beleive it is the voltage regulator also. All grounds are good and on clean metal. No loose connections on the battery. I was trying to get maybe a few more ideas before I spend 60 bucks on a voltage reg. that I may not need.
