beeeeeeeeeeepppppp........

Mine's going the same way.
In my old Merc, I had the brushes on the altenator replaced (to get the car going and home) before getting the altenator replaced.

The problem was that the shaft on the altenator where the brushes rub was so severely worn into two nice big grooves, through the copper into the steel bar, that the brushes were wearing out in less than a week

SO... check the brushes first, then see if its the bar. (mental note - do same myself at weekend)

cheers

its a 3 pin plug but it hasnt been connected before as it has mud in it and everything.

It just behaves as if the engine hasent started and volts on dash dial are down near half on tick over instead of 3/4.

Plus it was very sudden, went to tesco fine no probs went out and it started doing it then.

Altenator then maybe?

A grey triangular shaped plug? Mine has it too and looked like it was plugged into something on or around the alternator, but I ain't got a 2.4 engine anymore to check.

Bad earth between engine and chassis/body could be causing the problem too, may have been disloged when you had your truck lifted/painted/froaded.
