Faulty Alternator Causing Other Issues?

[nofordstranger]

I have read somewhere, probably in the forums here, that a faulty alternator or one that is failing can cause symptoms with things like overdrive and transmissions. Is this true?

Quiet possibly, if the alternator had a bad regulator or something it could send out unstable current causing stuff to go weird. However... If you are having problems with the transmission it may be the transmission. Take the truck to autozone or Oreilly's and have them test the alternator. and if not possibly borrow a code reader and see if you can figure out whats causing your problem
