    Front Battery being overcharged

    Lol. Your probably right. ...... I just wish I would have purchased a new 12 volt alternator instead of a 24 volt. Thanks everyone for the help. I'll update when the new 12 volt arrives.

    Front Battery being overcharged

    Bottom alternator checks out fine. So I will be putting it back in. Now I guess I'll take out my brand new top alternator and replace it with a new 12 volt alternator and do away with the sure power duvac box. I guess I'll have a spare 24 volt alternator laying around. ....

    Front Battery being overcharged

    The front battery on my 1010 is being overcharged and thus swelling. Truck still has 24 volt system with the sure power duvac and the 2 alternators. Any ideas on what is causing the front battery to be getting 17 volts? Truck starts fine whether the motor is warm or cold. Thanks,
