[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 5175, member: 307"] Do you run the engine at a low idle for the first minute or so. It may take that long for the oil pressure to engage a switch, which sends power to the alt. Though that seems kinda long, time it with you watch, 10 seconds seems like a long time when waiting for a guage to move. Is it still the Mondo alternator with the Melroe sticker on it , or has someone replaced it with a self exciting 1 wire GM Delco by now. Some of the self exciter one take more rpm or a bit of time to kick in. Turn the machine off for 20 mins but leave all you lights on and see if you guage still stays at 13.5 or if it slowly drops. Also it should drop a volt or two when you hit the glow plug switch. Now when you start it does it still kick in right away and show 13.5, or does it take a little time to replace the charge to the batt, say starts at 12.5 and builds to 13.5 Really it should show 14.5 when the batt is fully charged If you have a multi meter you may want to check your volts with that.
