Took the truck (53 ford f-100) out for a drive yesterday=E2=80=A6first=

Grand Nationals (I=E2=80=99ve been busy) Ran great for about 30 minute=

d no problems.=20

headed home the truck stumbled and died..almost like it was out of gas=
=E2=80=A6 ( had=20
over a half a tank) I pulled into a business and tried to start it and=
all I=20
got was a =E2=80=98click=E2=80=9D. Dash Volt meter read about 11 volts=
with switch on and=20
dropped to zero when hitting the starter. Waited about 10 minutes and =
it=20
started right up=E2=80=A6 got it home, shut it off and same thing =E2=80=
=9Cclick=E2=80=9D.
Battery has been on a battery tender full time since May and showed 13=
=2E7 volts=20
on VOM connected to the battery before the ride.
Battery is 2 years old Everstart Maxx27 800 CCA =E2=80=A6 =20
Davis DUI ignition (which could have quit when battery voltage got low=
)
All cables are new with 1/0 welding cable for starting circuit and bat=
tery=20
ground to frame
engine to frame, frame to cab and frame to bed are all #4 wire to bare=
metal=20
connection points with dialectic grease.
At first glance...when running, the volt meter on dash shows over 13 =
volts so=20
I think alternator is good=20
did a load test with a H.F. (100 amp) load tester showed battery dropp=
ing to 10=20
volts during 10 second load... recovered to 12.=20
Put truck up on stands and dropped battery (under cab) checked all ca=
bles and=20
connections from battery to starter including solenoid and ground conn=
ections.
all tight, no corrosion on terminals and cells full. this truck fini=
shed last=20
year and everything is new. Starter solenoid is a Cole-Hersee 200 amp=
=20
continuous draw solenoid.
Starter is new last year and 6-7 inches away and below headers so heat=
soak=20
isn't causing the problem
Set it back down and charged it for 30 minutes at 10 amps... battery s=
howed 12.9 volts.. started ok and put meter on alternator
terminals... alternator putting out 14.5 - 14.8 volts... varies a lit=
tle with engine speed.... so alternator is good I think.
I did a load test again.,.. idle voltage reading 12.9 volts on two di=
fferent fluke meters... and during the load test it dropped to 12.3 th=
en recovered to 12.7...so I'm=20
assuming the battery is good, it was just low before the first load te=
st.
here's an odd thing.. I have a 12 volt terminal on the right frame rai=
l that powers the elec radiator fan, tilt hood motors and trinary swit=
ch
with the a/c on, headlights on and elec radiator fan running (as much =
load as I can put on it)... the alternator o/p at 14.5 volts, the volt=
age at the terminal on rail reads 11.5 volts. The terminal is 4'=20
from battery and fed with #4 stranded wire.
that's about all the detail I can give you... any ideas why it stalled=
and quit..??? and why the terminal point only reads 11.5 versus the=
14.5 at the alternator.
I'm=20
at the wall
thanks
