Does the alternator on these diesel trucks have separate charging systems for each battery. These trucks have 2 batteries. I do know that only 1 batt. is needed to start the truck. I'm getting 2 diff. readings while the truck is idling on each battery?

it wont start on one battery for long or you may get low voltage damage to your starter. check you cables for inner corrosion do a load test on each battery seperatly one may be bad. my cable corroded of on my secondary battery and had to be replaced i put another cable from the positive bolt on primary to pos on sec hope this helps
