I have an 04 F350 6.0 and had symptoms the other day like my alternator was going out but I just replaced it late last fall. The trucks ABS light turned on about 1/4 mile from my house so I got home and right as I parked the gauges stopped working and the radio shut off. As if the truck was running off batteries and the batteries were draining. So I shut my headlights on then a second later the radio came back on. Plugged in my scangauge and wasn't getting any codes but with the truck idling in park it was making 9.5 volts. Could my alternator be going out again. That seems kind of odd for it to go out less than 6 months later

Depends on the alternator brand and quality. I got one from Oreilly's and it did the same thing warrantied it and went on with life.
