My 97 has an electrical short I've yet to find, although I know it's in the lighting circuit(I suspect the DRL circuit, as it's never worked since I've had the truck).
It's at the point where it's taking a toll on the charging system. The alternator can only put out so much with a high demand(I've watched it drop to 12.5-13v) and other times it's in the 13.8 range. I also have to charge the battery every other weekend. If I let the truck sit for two days straight, it will kill the battery.
I've heard I can put a 140amp(105 currently) on and change to a AGM battery to help reduce the strain on the charging system.
What's you guy's 2 cents?
