[QUOTE="KAC1023, post: 6382526, member: 612240"] I'm going through the same thing. I have a F350 Turbo Diesel with a Excessive Amperage 250 amp alternator in it. I JUST got the alternator two weeks ago. When I went to install it, I had to grind down my bracket because it was a large case and my old one was small, wish I knew I had too do that. After the install I checked it running 14.4 at the post, great. I only have like 900 watts in my truck, crank it up all good. Two weeks later (Last Wednesday) coming home from work, see my batt gauge bouncing. hook up a volt meter, same as you, back and fourth from 14.7 to 15.3 back and fourth at idle. I took the alt. off and put my stock one back on. I called EA Thursday, emailed him Friday, he got back to me this afternoon asking if I could bring it to a auto zone for a "checkup". I'm sending it to Ohio Generator, wish me luck [/QUOTE]
