hey all,
at idle, my voltage is great. It stays about 13ish and all accessories run great as well.
when i rev it, the volts drop and then come back at idle.
at driving speed my volts remain a constant 10 volts. the headlights dim whenever the blinkers blink, etc. the problem is there during day when the headlights are off, as well as night when they are on.
alternator is about 2 years old and has never given me any trouble (the bearing went out on the previois alt) the battery is an optima and cranks just as fast as ever, and pulls the winch strong too
only clue i have is a terrible timing chain cover leak which may get the alternator dirty. i cleaned the alternator with steam pressure and also electrical cleaner and it had no effect.
any ideas?
