First post here! Recently bought an ambulance (2008 F-350) i'll be converting over the next year or so and since it'll be sitting for long periods of time I figure I'd buy a battery tender. It came with an adaptor to charge through the ODB2 port, was wondering, does anyone else use/do this...

So I had my mechanic put a new body on to my 2000 F350. When I got it back from him there was a fuel leak which he eventually fixed. But from day one that I got it back the charging system has not worked. I replaced both batteries the alternator the glow plug relay the starter motor relay and...

Been doing a lot of reading and research online about which alternator to go with for my 6.0, seems most people go with DC power, seems like a good product only big things ive read is customer service and always being in short supply. havent read much on the mean greans, saw that some were...

Hi all, I just replaced my alternator on my 99 7.3 when I discovered that it wasn't charging. The new alternator does not charge either. I suspect that the two small wires in the push on connector on the back are the source of the problem. (there are only 3 wires total, one of which is the big...

OK guys, my uncle has an '03 F350 with a 7.3; he recently had a mechanic replace some fuel injectors and the injector drive module. After this, the truck developed new issues. First... dead batteries, two new batteries, no problem. Then... dead batteries again, new alternator, OK. Now, while...

Good morning to all I have a 2006 F360 6.0L. The battery light is flickering. Off most of the time, they comes on a a moment or two then off. Everything checks out. The batteries are about a year old, at 12.5 volts each. Passed load test. The alternator is new, show 14.1v at the alt...

My 03 6.0 is eating up batteries like there's no tomorrow. Advanced has replaced 4 of them under warranty in the last 9 months. Its not killing cells, it will be fine then one day it will start cranking slow and two days later i'm getting jumped, take it to advanced and it says "replace battery"...

I just bought a 99 f250. It runs but does not charge. The guy thought it was the wiring harness. He put 2 new batterys, terminals and an alternator on it with no luck. What do you guys think?

So I have a 1999 Ford F250 Superduty with 2 batteries. It has the 7.3 of course. I'm having an electrical issue. I have 2 brand new batteries and a brand new alternator but I keep walking out to dead batteries. About a week ago I was driving and I heard a loud "pop" that sounded like it came...

I have a 2003 E-450 Shuttle Bus (converting to RV) with 7.7L TD. On a 400 mile trip to KY I noticed that the voltage meeter started dropping, and lights were dimming. I turned off all unnecessary electric. Meter went down to bottom of scale (about 8vdc) I was about ready to call it quits when...
