Took a 3 hour drive to Knoxville today. I watched the volt gauge. Seemed to be irratic. Hung at 11.4. But would jump to 13.5 for a short time them back to. 11.4. G lite was not on during the drive. After a short stop the re start is when the lite stayed on. Guage still at 11.4. I gotta get home.
Auto zone has a voltage reg. Is this a typical symptom of the easy to replace VR? |

I would say yes. Too bad, cause they aren’t fun to replace. Not horrible, but the tins make it harder than with most cars. |
