to charge or not to charge, thats what my gauge cant decide

Anyone ever have any weird charging issues? my voltmeter goes wacky sometimes after a cold start, but not always. I don't hear the grid heater relay clicking so it's not that loading the system down, this is a "newer" battery from my mud truck since the one that was in the truck recently had a cell die.

this is what i'm talkin bout.

ok, thanks for the input so fast!

I guess it threw me off because I didn't hear the relay, and it's done that mid summer when it was 80 out.. not all the time, just sometimes. :madd:

I've had more wtf moments with this truck...... guess thats what owning a dodge is all about :humm:
