One thing to check, besides the usual electrical (good clean connections and grounds and cables) stuff, is the tension of the alternator drive belt. When using the factory specs and the gauge, the tension is quite a bit tighter than you might imagine otherwise.
Hey George, Good suggestion to check the belt tension. Does the multi-ribbed drive belt make a squealing sound when undertensioned or is this mostly associated with loose v-belts only?
