Thanks everyone I jumped the truck and the voltage did not increase at first I thought it had something to do with the tc but I think that the tc was on truck and this happened was just a Coincidence. So when I had the truck running last night quite a while I might have killed the batteries due to the alternator being no good. I am waiting for AAA to pick up my truck and bring it to the shop, no trip this weekend, I really lucked out this happened in my drivewayAnd not on interstate 81
Replacing the alternator on a 6.0no is literally one of the easiest engines to replace on.
If you’re not able to replace it yourself and having it towed/paying retail, at least make sure you get a real quality alternator from an alternator rebuild shop or a fully rebuilt / new one if you can get new. As there is not a quality off the shelf reman out there and the 20 minute replacement job will cost you $100s in labor and towing each time.
Every vehicle that’s needed an alternator in recent years for me has required multiple replacements in short order due to being junk pieces of **** still. Remans don’t get rebuilt. They get whatever part is broke, new brushes and back in a box.
Last one I took to a shop and had it completely rebuilt.
All the pos remans from every parts store are just that, junk.
