Hello:
I have a question. I have been having problems with my F350. I got new batteries, but have been running them down when I plow. I got a Boss V Plow. I did a test on the alternator as described in my Chilton book a couple weeks ago and it passed. The truck has been fine until yesterday when it died when I lifted the plow. I checked the batteries and I think they were at 11.6 I charged them and had 12.8 or so when I went out there today. After start up it was at 11.9 and only got a little higher than that, stayed under 12, which to me means my alternator is shot. I plowed snow in the yard for 5 minutes and shut it down. I had 11.75 volts then. I went back out 2 hours later and had 12.4 volts. Can anyone explain that to me? Where does that voltage come from to go from 11.75 to 12.4?
I started the truck and it went down to 11.8. Ran it for 10 minutes and shut it off. It immediately went a little over 12 and now two hours later it is about 12.3. I don't know how I am gaining voltage, but I see a pattern here. I would guess I have a few more starts and will be in the same boat where it doesn't start.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
