So I recently started having some issues with my truck when the ac is on at idle. I saw that the battery meter was running a bit low and had AAA come out to test the battery but apparently its still good.
So next step I upgraded my alternator from 105 amps to a 250 amp. I thought the alternator I had was getting old (6 years) so I figured I might as well get a new one and upgrade a bit. Upgraded the cables and everything, got everything hooked up, but then I go to start it and it starts sputtering.
I noticed the AC was on so I switched it off then suddenly it went to idle perfectly. Switched ac back just to try it out and watched the battery meter go from 14 to 11. Guessing a compressor issue but wanted to check here before I wasted more money on upgrades I don't need.
