Does anyone else pay attention to the volt meter?
I am seeing odd things happen, it seems to be speed dependent.
When I am coasting at highway speed, the voltmeter climbs to 14.2, under throttle, hard acceleration it drops to 12.xx.
In the old days (I am an old bastard}, a fully charged battery in like new condition would read 13.2.
I don't think that there is a standalone voltage regulator these days, I am pretty sure everything is in the alternator.
Could this be an indication of a failing alternator?
