Any 12 volt alternator unregulated will usually only produce 18 volts max. Glad you found your problem. __________________ 89 F250, 7.3 IDI n/a, overhauled E4OD with upgrades & billet torque converter 12/05, 3.55, all sensors replaced, 15k High volume low resistance tranny cooler.

You might also change the battery in your voltmeter. A low battery in the meter will show higher than actual volt readings. Your 14.4 sounds about right though. __________________ 1986 F250 2WD Super Cab XLT Lariat w/ 1996 front clip. Dually bed & van rearend (2" wider, allows spring clearance). 6.9 w/ approx 120,000mi.
