I appreciate all the info. There is an indicator of a monster of another color here (of sorts). I cant be sure how long this issue has been going on but I've discovered something interesting. Or maybe it's my imagination? It seems to me and all the evidence suggest my truck is running as smooth as it ever has and like new. I'm thinking that this issue also has been affecting the input signals readings and has been creating and erratic fuel, timing system as it seems this erratic voltage may play a bigger part in maintaining a sufficient charge. HUM?????????? any feedback?????? I've enjoyed the technical info and when I've had this investigated by my alternator "expert" I'll return with the verdict. Just for assurance I will pursue this as a quest to find the golden fleece of in other words; "exactly what he hell the problem is" (proof in the puddin) I think from what I see as I read all the post here it's The Regulator? Thanks for info and any further info on how this could effect the electronics as it relates to fuel delivery / firing / sensors etc I appreciate.
Thanks again, Hollis
