okay, first thank you all for your help, second sorry about my signature, i'll fix that, and third... i solved the problem, it is now in a box on its way back to china, with a note attached that reads " Dear China, you suck... and take your no good, lyin' ass piece of shit meter, and shove it...

can i get an external voltage regulator?

and i tested the batteries after i had just had the truck running

well the only reason i don't think it's the meter is because i tested several other batteries that tested around 12 volts.

lol sorry i have a cummins too. and it is tested with the engine off and i'm getting 19 volts any where i test it. (both batteries, hot wires in cab, trailer plug, hot post off of the alternator) so what about the grounds?, i just put new terminals on the cables too, because they were over...

oh damn

My volt meter is showing just under 14 volts while running, using a test meter my batteries are showing 19 volts, okay so the factory gauge it wrong, no problem, But I'm gonna fry shit up and I really don't want to. can I adjust the voltage regulator on the alternator?

thanks pal

thanks pal

hmm... i think i'll have to give it a try

so i straighten the existing coil on the tab out and bend a new one about 1/8 inch from the end that was previously bent?

so what do i do with the bend thats there?

well. i didn't know what to do so i just replaced it anyway. it WAS THE ORIGINAL, it was $63 at advance, got the severe duty one, cheap insurance, so it's in, and runs 190, to the floor up to 210, but right back down to 190

well i put the heat gun to it and it was hot as shit,,, and nothing, the fan felt like it got smoother and easier to turn it never tightened up

how can i test the fan clutch?

that dont make any sense to me either, i can move the fan by hand, but it's always drawing, i wonder if the fan isnt kickin in at all just tight on the pully

that pic was damn near stock, but thanks

i think my fan clutch is bad, when i start the truck it's on immediately, not just spinning, but ON i rev it up and its definitely pulling air, it never shuts off

is there any way i can clean it in the truck with HVAC coil cleaner?, like for cleaning outdoor units
