Charging system question

[BUSHWHACKER]

Omg I just realised what it is. It's a dual belt alternator and I only have 1 in there that certainly won't help things....

I should of pointed out as well that I am a vehicle technician.....

I'm guessing you're unemployed at the moment then.

No it's not my main profession just one of the skills I have

Truck is fixed though as I pointed out.

Starter motor is fine there was no moment when it didn't start it just seemed to struggle indicating a drop in battery starting voltage.

I should of pointed out as well that I am a vehicle technician so was looking at a more technical point of view without trying to offend anyone.

You said that the truck seemed sluggish to start.
You said you had 12volts at the battery.

You do realise that battery voltage will drop when cranking.

Yes hence changing the older battery due to having drop tested it before

What i did mean was that the drop in battery voltage could have been from the batteries not being fully charged hence giving those symptoms
