Ok, so I installed my new Powermaster 140 AMP alternator on the old 2.5L S-10, and I rewired my electric fan, since before the electric fan was killing the motor. So I get the truck running and all that happy crap, I pull it out of the garage, and the lights seemed a bit dim, but I pressed on to the end of driveway and into the street....I put it in first gear and got to about past my mail box, and everything went WAY dim, and I did all I could do to get the S-10 back up the driveway and into the garage. I shut her down, and tried to start it up again, and it seemed like there was no juice to start the truck. I put the meter on the battery and its down to like 11V. Could a high amp alternator kill a battery? And my jump pack was dead too, so thats plugged in right now, so I more or less have to wait until I can try to start the pig again. Any ideas?
