I've been starting my pickup truck and noticing that most of the light on the console are lit up, the truck runs really bad as well and things like the fan doesn't work, I have to give it a really good Rev of the engine to kick it back to a normal state, i've checked the voltage on the Battery when it starts bad and i'm only getting 12.8vDC read out, after i give it a good Rev then the Battery shows 14.3vDC which is a normal read out, i've changed the brushes on Alternator thinking that might be all it is....this still did not help any, is it possible this could be the voltage regulator in the Alt. malfunctioning? that was a suggestion from a buddy, if anyone has some feedback, please let me know if there is a load test i can bring it in for, or anything else.
Thanks folks.
