thankx for making that clear.

i watched my bat voltage over the weekend and i had a min reading of 13.6 at like 50-55mph, and a high of 14.2 at 60-70mph. most of the time it was between 13.9/14.2.

for what its worth i turned my key on before starting the trk the other day and the voltage was at 12.2.....this morning i noticed it while cranking, it was like 9-9.2.
thankx agn for the info.
The 13.6 at 50-55 mph sounds a bit low to me, unless you are running some fairly high draw devices, possibly a high-powered sound system? The 13.9-14.2 though is certainly a normal reading.

Again, 12.2 seems a bit low to me right after turning the key. I have around 12.4V then (but I'm kind of "nit-picking" here). Again, it depends on what accessories you already have on. I don't think I've ever noticed the voltage while cranking though. I guess I'm always looking at the dash gauges. So, I just went out and watched the Gryphon's voltage reading while cranking. Mine dropped to 10.1V (and my truck started very quickly), so, your battery MAY be getting weak.
