What is the proper running voltage on and off ?. btw its a 2002 TLR. Yes ive looked at the other charging threads but im an idiot when it comes to batteries and such, but it would stay at a constant 13.5 running and off and as i reved it up it would drop a bit.
I think the problem is the rectifier, and this is what im lookin at for a replacement someone tell me if im wrong or throw in their 2 cents before i spend 80 bucks please

Look here first and try the plus mod or the charging system mod...I had the same issues, went through 2 batteries and the mods cleared this up...Check for corrosion on the main terminal first...it only takes a small amount of corrosion to wreak all kinds of havok on the TL.
