FIL was given a 92 Econoline by his Sister in law. She put a new battery in it on 5-10-11. It would not keep a charge. She had her son look at it and he said the alternator was bad. I went 80 miles to put a new alternator on it yesterday. I took the old one off and to a parts store. I thought it was expensive, $175 for a rebuilt. I put it on and started it. I let it run and tried to start it again. It barely turned over. We put a battery charger on it for several hours and it still refused to start. We finally jumped it to get it started and I drove it to the farm store where it came from. It died as I was driving thru the door into the service bay. The tech checked it and it only had 9 volts so he replaced it. It would not start so we left it there. It was past closing time. The SIL went there to meet the tow truck and it started for them. They hauled it home. This morning it started so FIL and I went to get it. We saw that the hot battery cable was not clamped tight, so we put a new one on. It started so we headed home. A half mile away we stopped to gas it up. It hesitated starting so we did not shut it off again. When I got home, I let it run. After 5 to 10 minutes it died and would not turn over. I put my battery charger on it and it pegged the meter. As I drove home I had noticed that the volt meter seemed to move down gradually. It was definitely lower when I got home. Any ideas what to check next? Already new battery and new alternator. Thanks, Roy
