Quick question:


What's the easiest way to check the actual amperage output of my
alternator?  My charging system warning light is coming on, so I'd like to
check the output with a multimeter to see if it's putting out what it
should.  This is for an 82 diesel with a 65A alternator.


Thanks!


T.
