[QUOTE="bgdrhntr, post: 2197916, member: 29542"] Alternator amperage isn't an indicator of a problem with the alternator. What was the voltage? Erratic amperage is an indicator of something else going on. Could be that the batteries were completely drained then the alternator would have higher amperage then drop as the batteries charge. My concern is that there is something creating a consistent drain on the batteries. So sitting in church the batteries were drained. If you checked the voltage and you saw that jumping all over the place then the diode pack would be bad. One obvious question is your ground good? I've had lots of issues I've chased only to find a bad ground. [/QUOTE]
