I have had a number of alternators that would work quite fine under a certain RPM but go over that RPM and suddenly there is no charge, which sounds just like what yours is doing. A new or a good rebuilt one should fix you right up.
Charging issue? Belt tensioner, perhaps?
I'm unable to drive faster than 60, without the battery light coming on.
Battery voltage: 12.4 / 12.5 - Passenger / Driver side.
Not yet tested the output of the alternator.
Seems odd the alternator would/could function properly unless I race the engine, or run +/- 1900 RPM (about 60 mph), triggering the battery light to come on, as well as the voltage gauge to drop very low.
I suspect the belt tensioner is calling it quits.
Am I on the right track?
