anyone with one.. do you have idling issues? sometimes out of the blue after driving or whatever i will come to a stop or w/e and my voltage will read 13.2 with nothing really on.. like my alt is off.. if i put it in neutral it will come up a little.. as soon as i give it gas it comes right back to 14.xx any ideas? it idles real close to 500 a little above it

Alternators make more current at higher RPM's. Which is why it goes up when you shift to neutral and rev it up. 13.2 isn't terribly low, but not abnormal.
