i started my 01 dodge ram 1500 5.9 and as it was starting it shut back off. notice that this inside light were dim down and my battery gauge was showing at 8 and not at 12-14. put if i started to push the gas while trying to start it this it would keep running and it would read on the battery gauge 13 but when i let off then it would shut off and the battery would read 8. i had checked out the battery and it read 9.90 and also check the Alt by take the postitive off the battery and it still ran while keeping on the gas. also checked the fuel pressure gauge and had fuel. not sure sure on what else it might be or to check.
 
charge the battery up, then see if it holds, if it does, see what the alt puts out then

but it sounds like a bad alt.
 
ok i will try that out. someone told me that it could be only my battery but im not sure. maybe i should buy a new battery and see if that works. thanks
