I just installed a new battery and altenator. I am now showing that the battery is "discharging". What could be my problem area? Please Help, Jeff

Use a voltmeter on the battery posts to check the charge condition, you light may be wrong. With the truck running you want 13.8-15 volts. Let us know what you find.
