How do you test altanator on a 1985 dodge truck?

To test the alternator on a 1985 Dodge truck, first ensure the battery is fully charged. Start the engine and use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the battery terminals; it should read between 13.5 to 14.5 volts if the alternator is functioning properly. Additionally, you can check the alternator's output by disconnecting the positive battery cable while the engine is running; if the engine stalls, the alternator is likely faulty. Lastly, inspect the alternator belt for any signs of wear or looseness, as this can affect performance.
