Help with HO alternator!
Hey I just installed a high output alternator which people have gotten and I know they sell quality product but! Ever since I installed it when I idle it's at anywhere from 12.8-13.5 when I'm driving it's at 14-14.1 which is strange cause my stock would idle at 14.2-3 now I'm curious if it's the alternator or maybe cause the cpu reset? or the battery terminals need to be cleaned? I mean it's kinda strange that it goes from 14 driving to 13 idle and the alternator is supposed to be 140 amps and 75 amps idle which is almost a regular alternator at capacity what gives? Should I uninstall it and put the stock back in? PLEASE HELP!!!

Even if it needed it which I'm not sure it's not the issue the issue is I'm getting like 12.8-13v idle and I don't know why when with my stock alt I was getting 14.2

I can't recall if I installed my volt gauge before I installed my H/O alt so idk.
I have been running this alt setup for almost two years now and I have not killed any batteries or anything of the sort. I can tell you I noticed the difference when I put in the H/O alt compared to stock.
