- I've installed a new alternator (from O'Reilly's) that is putting out 13.5 volts at the alternator. Looking inside the housing it has a 14TR number on it (I think this is the regulator, which my Luc

- That is still not good, it should be 14.5v unless there is a significant load on the electrics from something. This is largely irrespective of the regulator number, and Clausager states that the 4TR

- I was taught that 13.8 to 14.2 volts - when the battery is fully charged - was a good rule of thumb. It might be a good idea to charge the battery overnight and then measure the alternator output vol

- My books indicate 13.8 to 14.2v is what to expect when the alt is at its maximum output of 34 amps at 6000 rpm (or 3400 rpm in a different section), at nominal output the regulated voltage is 14.3 to
