I had a similar issue and did not get it checked. Result, on my evening comute home I was left wondering why my head lights were so dim. Seems I hadn't been charging the battery for days. Wonderful thing about our diesels, we don't need no stinkin' electric juice to keep them running. I was able to get it home and with a brush/voltage regulator replacement (parts set me back $13.50 from parts shop) I hope I'm good for another 100K.
Have your alternator checked.
