while i'm driving my truck's voltage will be anywhere from 7-15 usually on the low end and when i pull up to stop sign and get back into first and take off it will shoot back to 13-14 reving usually has no effect on voltage. i'm guessing voltage reg (which sucks cause it's internal) i've check all grounds
replaced:
alternator wire harness
re ran a few grounds to better spots
removed 300 watt amp that was in the truck when purchased
new battery cables w/ brass ends.
i've had 2 different alternators on it but both were old (both around 80k)
just built motor and tranny back in july didn't notice the problem until coming back from lake where my orignal alternator's power cable post broke off and i switched to my spare.
also my temp sending unit is getting high voltage and making my truck read hot when it isn't. guage reads proper when voltage is at 13 volts.
truck is a 92 x-cab 5spd. thanks for looking
