You never posted a "Fixed" post for your generator problems. I am having flickering and overcharging. The old alt. was overcharging, but would reset at 16.5V.

I replaced the alternator and it immediatly started charging at 15.5 this worked for a day and then after the weend when I went home it was chargine at 17V and above.

I replaced both of the wires to the PCM (Except the plugs) it was working perfectly until I tried to come home from work, Back to 17V. The only other wire to the alt. was a hot at all times. I took out the fuse for the generator (hoping to drive home on battery voltage)

To my surprise, it started charging at about 14.5V This shouldn't be. I would be happy with just leaving it this way, but I know it will just stop charging at one point.

What Fixed Your Problem?
