Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / July 2004Dodge Ram Problems
I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with a 360 5.9 liter. The other day my GEN light came on and my voltage gauge is reading under 12 volts. I put a new alternator in and it didn't seem to fix the problem. I took it to a shop and that was just a screw job. they said I need to replace the alternator and the starter. I tried the whole removing of the battery cable and that killed the engine. I've heard that that trick doesn't work with the newer stuff, but now I'm not sure. I just spent $200 on a alternator. Can anyone help me? I don't want to take it to another shop, but I don't know what else to do. Any info would be very helpful, thanks Nathan Huber nathan_huber@pld.com the"new" alternator is no good > I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with a 360 5.9 liter.

If battery voltage is not getting to the exciter field, you can not produce current.
