First make sure the alt. is good. This has to be tested while in your truck. Under load it will read bad, under no load on a supply house tester it could read good. The ECU runs about 500.00 a new alt. runs about 150.00. If it was replaced by you before it will have a warrenty. I had to take mine to a shop for a read out, before the supply house would take it back. If it is the voltage reg. They make one that goes on the alt. which will bypass the one in the ECU. Cost and labor about 125.00. Your mech will run test at this time.
