All, my volt meter is pegged at 18 volts whlie driving, when I turn the lights or any other electrical item on, volts drop to 14, then surge back and forth from 14 to 18. Lights in the truck get brighter and dimmer when the volts surge. New battery and voltage regulator, could this be a bad altenator. Please help electrical is so frustrating.
