Voltage Regulator Going TU? Quick reply/opinion please.

[Kizer]

Hello All,

Regarding the '93 IDIT:

The factory volt meter is "wagging" at idle unless I put a load (head lights for example) on the charge system.
Seems alright at 1500+ RPM.

I don't have a voltmeter handy (last time that happens) because I'm on the road.

Do you think I should stop at the next auto parts house for a replacement alternator ... or does this sound, to you, like I'm losing ground?

Any quick reply/thoughts appreciated greatly ... I intend to drive overnight.

Thank you,
Kizer

I've had a couple of Dent Side trucks that did that same thing. I just drove them that way for years.
