@Chungas Revenge hey buddy sorry to put such a heavy burden on your thread, please forgive me.
A very perplexing day to say the least, I hope you're still holding your position because that's where I need to be right now.
So I decided to help out a friend by sympathetically conducting similar tests on my VR, so here are my test findings.
VR testing Pic 1 engine off Lights Off ~ Batt Voltage
Pic 2
Pic 3
VR testing Pic 4 engine ON at 1800 RPM Lights On
Pic 5
Pic 6
VR testing 7 engine on at 1000 RPM Lights On
Pic 8 VR adjusted several times as per the FSM with similar results no appreciable charging
VR test pic 10 after several adjustments no appreciable charging
pic 11
Pic 12 Brand New Voltage Regulator from O'Reilly's purchased today
installed
Pic 14 New VR testing 1000 RPM Lights On voltage fluctuation 11.72 V - 11.73 V
pic 15
I didn't know that this problem existed with my VR and new alternator, any advice?
This explains as to why my previous Optima battery died a cruel death.
So needless to say...Missouri Loves Company!
