Still in limp mode, so I only drove around the block a few times. Ultragauge showed 14.53v.

The next day I went to drive it to my indy LR shop and it was completely dead again.

Any ideas?

It is going to be your battery or the alternator, I think. Auto parts places with test both for free.

To put an end to this thread, the rover gods smiled down on me a bit this weekend as it was just a faulty battery.

Yay! Not even a rover part. That is good news.

I have had those issues for at lest 2 yrs. I have tried everything. Took it to 2 different shops still not fixed. As anyone talked to someone who was able to fix the issue. Truck runs great other then that. I often wonder if the problem could involve the voltage regulator.
