It's crazy. Idles at center drops just below in gear (like it always has) and goes up as you rev it.
Is it possible to blow the alternator with a problem in the system?
I have one of his in my truck without issue.
This is the 3rd volt regulator with no change. I will try jumpers and report back.
(1) sounds like classic full fielded reg (when tghe RPM's go up to where the alt can put out enough to peg the ammeter, the (faulty) reg let it do so however you have replaced it several times. (2) not likely in this case but the alt field system could have an improper grounded in the green wire side internally that is full fielding it (check those brushes/brush holders) (3) swap the good alt that is in your truck in & we'll have some answers in less than an hour. I'm thinking I (might) do that before the jumpers unless you have lengths of wire/alligator clips made up/ready to be used. Holler back with any news
