THANK-YOU FOR ALL THE REPLYS I QUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS THERE A CHANCE MY ALTERNATOR IS AT FAULT BECAUSE READING THE SERVICE MANUAL IT INDICATES THESE BATTERIES SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED AT MORE THAN 14.4 VOLTS AND WHEN I READ THE VOLTAGE ACROSS THE BATTERY WHILE THE TRUCK RUNNING IT WAS 14.6, DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT THE VOLTAGE ACROSS THERE BATTERY IS WHEN THERE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ,ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

14.6 Volts is what you should have when the engine is running
 
- Never forget there is always an error on a Voltmeter, even when it's a digital.
- Normally there is a 'fused link' between the alternator and the battery.
- You have an alternator problem when your lights dim near idle speed.
- You have a battery problem when your lights dim during startup.
 
Jeep Toledo plant may loose 1,800 jobs according to Financial news
 
Last point: when you measure a certain voltage on the leads, this doesn't mean the inside of the battery is getting it

I get 14.3 volts with motor running . I would not think your reading of 14.5 would be enough over to hurt your battery . Had you considered contacting OPTIMA BATTERY on your problem . Also the slight differance in the readng might be yor meter . Also the reading my meter gave may be slightly off also .

Caribou1 they are loosing their jobs because the company do not want to put diesel engine in America any more. they want to loose money than to make money. My motto is loose some and make it in the volume sale, but it seems that dodge want to go down and close their doors. I think that we all are going to drive Indian vehicle in the not distance future.

I have a compass, thermometer, volt meter unit plugged into the lighter.
I have seen no higher than 13.5V on a cold morning and no lower than 12.8V on a hot day.
I have not put a real meter on it to see if it is way out of spec, but those are my readings.

Hey guys, Ok I know that there is got to be a way to do a work around with the egr
system. I also know that you can increase your mileage by bypassing this pain in the butt useless system. I currently run b-100 with a slight kick, and have logged
30k on just bio. I have incorporated a hydrogen generator and external propane feed
which has my milage up to 29 mpg. I think I can jack that up another 3 - 5 miles
if I could get some helpfull ideas from folks that think outside the box like me.
I have 2005 liberty crd. Thanks for any and all feedback in advance.

Were the voltage readings you gave with your motor running or not ? After reading your message I hooked my volt meter to the cigarette lighter . Before starting the motor I had 12.58 volts .After starting the motor it went to 14.3 and at highway speed it hit a max of 14.35 . I did the above test thinking you would have to be at driving speeds to really see what the charging rates would be especially after reading the repair manual and seeing the number of different components that could affect the voltage being put out .

Hello Nescosmo,
 
I'm trying to locate the contact for the SEGR kits but they all reference the Lost KJ which has been down for quite a while. Can you post the contact or tell me where I can find it?
 
Also, how difficult is the installation and what is the cost?

My readings are with the engine running, however after I saw your question I put a good DVM on and found that the meter is .9 VDC low.
Therfore my actual readings should be 14.9 and 13.7 .
