Charging is controlled by the ECM. Be sure all your wires and grounds are clean and tight!
What voltage are you seeing while running?

Im in the middle of changing all my cables and Battery Terminals. The ones that are on my truck are nasty and lose. This battery lasted 4 months. I cant run the truck to check the volts because the positive terminal burned off when i came out to go to work this morning. will check the volts when i get all back together.
