Two issues with this truck. I believe the alternator is shot because the battery keeps dying. When I jump it it does run for a while and did charge a few times when engine is revved. Is this likely the case?
Leaking from where the two brake tubes enter into the electronic hydraulic control unit (hydraulic assembly?). Is this a sign that this unit needs to be replaced? Why would it leak from where the tubes enter the unit?
Thanks for all of your answers.|||Altenators will not charge a dead battery,altenators will maintain battery charge,before replacing ALT charge the battery to completely full,then see if it goes dead.
If it leaks where the tubes go into the assy try tightening the tubes,it's unlikely that it's the hydraulic unit that's at fault.|||Check the voltage of the battery with the engine running at idle with a voltmeter. You should be getting 13.5 to 14 volts. Less than that, and your alternator has failed. Regarding the HCU, is it your ABS HCU you are referring to? Brake fluid leaks from the HCU itself are rare, so I would check to see if the lines aren't rusted through. Hope this helps.|||The alternator should be charging at 14.5 volts. If it is not, then there is a problem with your charging system. As far as the tubes leaking, tighten the fittings. If still leaks, may need to replace the lines. Or reflare the ends of the lines.
