    Either you have a current draw from somewhere, or a bad battery.

    Brand new battery. Is there a way to test the alternator at home?

    If you have a multimeter you could check the output voltage right at the alternator to confirm

    What have you done to your truck lately
    You can rev your engine 2000-3000 rpms and see if the battery voltage goes up if it does the alternator is good if it doesn't then you have a bad alternator

    Mine performs similarly. It is barely 3 years old.

    It should be 14.0+ you could take it to any auto zone or o Riley's store and they can test your battery and alternator for free.

    Chris, If you get a new alternator get the higher amperage one from a TRD model. I forgot your truck started out life as a lowly peasant SR5 :)

    Do / did you have the bed outlet ? I think that is the deciding factor for the higher amperage alternator. I think the tow package only got us the tranny cooler ?

    The 130 Amp is the "higher" one correct?

    There appears to be 3 2nd gen Options - 80, 100 or 130 so my suspicion is this :

    TRD models w/ bed outlet 130 amp

    TRD models w/o outlet 100 amp

    Peasant SR's have the 80 amp ?

    I'm pretty sure you're close. If I recall correctly, w/bed outlet is 130, regular TRD and SR (all V6) are 100, and the 4bangers are 80 amp. @XPOTRPR can probably set me straight though!

    Ah yeah that would make perfect sense 130 & 100 for the 6's and the 80 for the wee little four banger.
