[QUOTE="Dafaseles, post: 8832731, member: 681482"] Honestly, your truck would be behaving like this without the system as well. That's how the voltage regulation system is designed. When it needs to charge, and upon initial startup, it'll push 15.3 ish and after warmup and when not needed, to "save fuel" it'll drop to the low 13's. I've read bypassing the RVC ring (grounding something straight to the engine block without first passing through the ring) can confuse the system, and cause minor/ major electrical gremlins within the system, though I didn't ever test this myself. Grounding for us (unless you bypass the 2 pin plug as I have done) requires us to ground everything to the negative battery terminal, then from the battery terminal, through the ring, then to the engine block. My last system, before I bypassed the system, I got the stock cable, and a 1/0 awg cable through that ring for grounding. I didn't even notice the voltage fluctuations. Really the only reason I bypassed the system now is because I'm planning on running lithium. [/QUOTE]
