alternator light could be crap in it, did you do the off road mud run?

has the battery voltage dropped as alternator light means its not charging and td5 is sensitive to low voltage,
if its ok, then it needs diagnostics plugging in, if you put a location up there maybe someone near to you who has some code reading equipment
