Hi guys, i have a 1996/97 Toyota Hilux surf gen3 with the 3.0l kzn185 intercooled engine it also has twin batteries.
My question is when the engine is running i presume there should be a voltage of around 13.5 volts going to the batteries like most cars. or have toyota got some sort of weird regulation going on?
Just trying to work out if my alternator is fooked.
Battery resting voltage (engine off) is around 11.6 to 12 volts So a little low but tring to work out of thats because of the alternator.
When running the battery voltage is around 12.5 to 12,7 volts but does not increase with rpm.
Also is it worth getting the 140amp upgrade alternator that is for sale on ebay or just stick with the 70amp from roughtrax.
