Hey Guys, have a good one for you all. My new o4 started getting a little strange, about every other time I start it the gauge in the truck shows right inder 12 volts around a 11 or so on the gauge .I can kill the truck and start it back goes to 14 volts where it needs to be. Have not measured with a volt meter to prove it yet but any help would be great.
Thanks, Big D

If it runs after start up back up to 14+ volts ,in fairly short order,They all do it and it's normal.
Between Glow Plug Cycle ,intake heater and Fuel heater during startup, puts a drain on the electrical system.Reason 1 for our two battery system.
It's more prevalent in colder climates.
