[QUOTE="MECHMAN, post: 4996873, member: 595065"] The Voltage reading of the alternator is a function of amperage. Any time your electrical load exceeds what the alternator is putting back in to the system, you will see a drop in voltage. The reason why many HO alts have low voltage at idle, is beause they do not put out very much amperage, and therefore expierience a votlage drop. If you read in his first post, he only gains a couple tenths of a volt by revving the engine; it is not an RPM issue. [/QUOTE]
