Correcting the wiring and of course no change. I did notice the truck almost stutter at idle, which I believe could point to my alt. I hooked an amp clamp and only got 55amps with headlights, sound system and misc accessories.

I also noticed fresh corrosion on the battery terminal and I cleaned it less than a week ago, which I believe also points to undercharging.

I'll order the new alternator soon, and I will most likely just buy and AGM battery to refresh the system. It seems like I can get away with an off the shelf variety and don't have to go with XS or a big name. Anyone have any experience with this?
