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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
