mercerc44 Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Houghton Lake, MI Posts: 211	I posted this on another forum but wanted to run by the Newmar group. What is an acceptable voltage drop when starting my 04 DSDP. Good Voltage reading before, 13+, drop to between 9/10 while starting. Time to replace????? __________________ 2004 DSDP 4009 Blue Ox Tow Bar - Brake Buddy

If not so old, might be developing high starter draw. Not sure of the "correct" amount of draw, but if you put an amp probe on the fat red cable to the starter & post results on a chassis forum, maybe call it "starter diagnosis," you should get some good feedback. __________________ Baja-tested '08 2-slide 36' Alpine: The Ultimate DIY'er Project
