Re: Not Getting Enough Voltage

Interesting about the rubber nuts on the regulator. When I had gone to replace it it was all held in by regular flathead machine screws with nuts on them through the radiator support. I would think that would give it better ground since I've done all sorts of extra ground wires all over the truck to ensure that body and frame are sufficiently grounded. And then it's metal on metal for better connection. That may be my whole problem as to why I'm not getting the ≈14.2 volts when running, just another ground problem. I still think I'm going to do a 12si swap since I plan on building a heavier front bumper that will have a winch as well as a roll bar with lights so I'll need the extra amperage anyway so I'm sure you will all hear about my beginning to the swap and I'll be needing some helpful hands to walk me through and I'd definitely appreciate the advice.
