Ok- I'm on my way to work this morning, and about halfway here, I start hearing this strange knocking/deep rattling noise coming from under the hood. Then I notice my battery light is on, and the battery gauge is much lower thatn normal. I still had full use of lights etc. I get to work and pop the hood, and the noise seems to be coming from my alternater. I started the truck about 3 hours later, and it still starts, but has the same symtoms.
It has been raining like hell out here, and I had to go through some minorly flooded roads
I need to know if I need to replace the alternater, the regulater, or the battery. I am guessing not the batt. cuz it still starts just fine. And am I correct in saying that driving home(50 miles away mostly highway) wouldnt be a good idea until fixed?? Any help would be greatly appreceated. thanks in advance.
