Hi everyone, I have a 85 FJ60.
About once or twice a week my volt meter on the dash goes up to 16V. It stays there for awhile or sometimes I turn off the engine and restart it and it might go away. Also when I have my turn signal on my voltmeter goes up and down alittle. I Have put a digital multimeter on my battery and at idle with nothing on its at 14.19V (which is good), and with headlights, hazards, windshield wipers, and heater on it doesn't go below 13V.
I drive my truck everyday, and I dont like when the volts get up high, my interior dash lights get really bright, and everytime its happend ive missed the chance to measure the volts at the battery, so I really dont know how high there are.
Will Changing the voltage regulator fix this?
(I have an internal VR) I dont think the alternator is going out. Or should I stop stressing about this?
I have an other ?? Also about 3 to 4 times a week when I start up the truck I hear like a puff of air comming from under the glove box and then I get a burnt smell anyone know what this can be?????
Last question, on 31X10.5 R15 tires on a stock truck whats a good air pressure?
