What voltage should I see at the alternator with the engine running? I did overload the alternator a while back trying to charge a dead battery
Normally it should be in the neighborhood of 13.5 -14.5.
A good test is to start engine, turn on headlights to bright, then read the voltage at the battery.
If if drops below 12.5 volts, the alternator may have problems and should be removed and taken to a repair facility for through bench testing.
