    Where are you testing the 12v at?

    Im thinking check it right at the alt itself. main lug.

    Please tell me you are NOT lifting the positive terminal on and off with the car running to check for charging,that will kill and alt quick.

    No I'm not doing that lol. I'm checking the voltage at the post on the alternator. It seems to match the battery voltage everytime.
