Ford Superduty battery and charging issue
Yesterday, I had my small utility trailer on the hitch of my 2003 F-250. I had dropped the trailer off and then put it back on the ball. Since it was near nightfall, I checked for running lights on th...

116 year old man found flat on the floor. Some will argue that a change in diet would fix the problem, even though he has lain there for three weeks.
A 3-G, 4G, or 6-G will start raising battery voltage INSTANTANEOUSLY when the engine is started. IMPOSSIBLE for it to not to do so. The FUSIBLE LINK that connects power to the cab, the ignition switch and the reference voltage regulator A connection and the S lamp excitation circuit on the alternator, also powers the key switch, lights, and fuel pump. Been there done that. Ford protects the alternator against LOAD DUMP due to a failed fusible link.
I like the idea of RETAINING the original rotor and the original stator, using 50-amp dish diodes instead of the original 30-amp dish diodes and sticking with a brand new voltage regulator. The 3-6 G uses eight rectifiers instead of six because it has a rectifies Y connection. Take a look a the STATOR winding color through the case holes or slots. is the wire colored magenta/purple? If yes you have the highest-amperage model of that alternator line. If the stator color is GREEN the alternator is not the highest amperage model. Hope this helps.
