V8, battery/alternator problem
Jerry,
If you have a multimeter, check the voltage at the battery
under the back seat whilst the car is running. Should be
13.7 +/- .25 volts or so..... If it's 12.8 or less. Check
the voltage at the battery jumpstart post under the hood.
If thats 13.7, whilst the battery is at 12.8 or less you have
a corroded cable clamp under the front passenger footwell.
If this is the case, let me know and I'll give the gory details
about the fix.
