If you have failing diodes you can easily run the voltage way over 14. Have it tested Oh if it were only easy to get out. Its the absolute hardest to get to alternator I have ever seen. I had to take the damn thing out from the bottom. Its real special the way they installed it from the factory. The...

I think my next mode of attack is going to replace the head pressure switch since it seems the system seems to under perform on hot days when a weak head switch would rear its ugly head. With those high ambients, I doubt the suction switch would be the issue.
