I was driving my 1996 4.0 2WD this afternoon and I started to see my voltage creep up past 14 volts and it slowly went on it's way to maybe 15 volts. My GEN light went on but I kept driving. I picked up my wife and we started driving back home and the volts went back to 14 (it usually hovers just below 14 unless it was a cold day) and the GEN light turned off for the 17 mile ride back home. I checked the battery and the voltage was approximate 12.75 volts.
I've searched and saw threads where the volts have been up to 19. Mine didn't get that close but it was enough to ask if anyone has any ideas. I know that the voltage regulator is supposed to be with the ECM for this year. I've had the alternator fail on me but the voltage progressively went down on the desperate ride back home.
