I put the 60 Amp alternator on, and still have one of the same problem as with the old one. With the engine running, voltage across the battery is a constant 15 to 15.5 volts, all the info I finds says it should be 14.2 to14.7 volts. Turn the lights on and I don’t see a voltage drop. Bad regulator? I put a new one on a couple of years ago. Can it be tested, should I replace with a solid state replacement? Thanks <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
