[QUOTE="Drummer65, post: 6981031, member: 619964"] Quick ELD question Okay so i got my new alternator but i have a question about the charging voltage. When in park or neutral my voltage is 14.4v at my cap and around 14.0v on my cigarette volt meter. Now when im driving around 2000 rpm with headlights on high beam and AC on full my voltage will drop to 12.2v on my cigarette volt meter. Now every 2 minutes it will jump back to around 13.8v for about 30 seconds then go back down to 12.2-12.6v. Also when i am braking i find that volts jump back to 13.8v. Is this an alternator problem or is it the ELD just controlling the alternator. I find it weird that in neutral i get 14.4v but as soon as i put it in drive it goes down to 12.2v, this is with the lights on high beam and AC on. maybe in drive the alternator pulley is not moving as fast? Any input would be great. [/QUOTE]
