DC amp meter on dash
Thanks to everyone for their input. I have replaced both alternators
with new ones. When I start the bus, I get about 14.2 on the dc volt meter on the dash. I initially get about 100 amps on the ampmeter on the dash but drops off slowly to almost 0 in 3 to 4 seconds. Any ideas? All information is greatly appreciated. Gus 89PT40 8V92T Houston, Tx |

Gus. That can be normal with good batteries that are fully charged. Try turning the heaters on to put a load on the system. That should put a load on the batteries and cause the alternators toincrease output.

DC amp meter on dash
Just this Morning at Amicalola Falls, GA in the mountains with temps at 29 degrees my amp gauge registered a draw of 150 amps on cold start, and dropped back to 50 amps where it runs normally in about 5 minutes. That sounds normal to me.

Thanks for all the input. I put a load on the system as Paul
suggested by turning on the heaters,all the lights, and the dash AC. The meter showed a little over 50 amps. It's on to my next fix.
