My truck will voltage will be around 9 and when I give it a little gas it will go below 8 an try to cut itself off. I have replaced the alternator, Battery, Starter, new battery side post end. The truck still seems like the alternator is not charging the battery to the required voltage. I have got 3 alternators swapped out because I was told it sounded like it just not charging. Any help or suggestions on what else it could be?

Good morning,

What is the battery voltage with the engine off?

Is the serpentine belt tight?

I attached a diagram for you. Verify battery voltage to the heavy red wire to the alternator.

Does the alternator light come on with the engine off? Check the fuse I circled for power on both sides.
