Rev the engine over 4500 rpm to see if it makes the light go out and stay out for a while. If so, replace the alternator.any ideas on what check first? Battery seems strong (fairly new). Runs ok. Gauge is dead in the middle. No change when engine is revved up.
I am dealing with this right now. Voltage when running is 11.5 and when I do rev motor above 4500 rpm light goes out…does that mean alternator is good but I got a tension problem?Rev the engine over 4500 rpm to see if it makes the light go out and stay out for a while.

Replace with a Toyota.
Read the post you quoted very carefully.I am dealing with this right now. Voltage when running is 11.5 and when I do rev motor above 4500 rpm light goes out…does that mean alternator is good but I got a tension problem?
Nope. It means the voltage regulator is done. It need to be revved like that to re-excite the commutator.I am dealing with this right now. Voltage when running is 11.5 and when I do rev motor above 4500 rpm light goes out…does that mean alternator is good but I got a tension problem?
