turn everything in truck off.
put a test lite between ground cable and ground cable post on battery. if it
lites you have a draw, short.
disconect things one at a time till it goes out. reg ulator, alt-gen, ect.
if no lite , have voltage checked running.
to set regulater ,you have to set spring tension by bending tab. recomend a
professional
