Charging

My battery light comes on and the lights dim when the truck gets to around 4500 rpm. It is a 2003 F-150 with 66,000 miles. Not sure if the alt is over speeding and the regulator is cutting it out. Any ideas???

Re: Charging

My dad had the same thing happen to his 02 F150 everytime you go to around 3,000 rpm. However, eventually the light just stayed on and the alt took a dump. Get that changed since your alt is probably on the way out.
