So did this cure your bouncing system voltage?

I will copy this post into the Article Submission/Discussion section in a bit (a little busy at the moment). In the mean time, I did take and include the thumb & link to full res image into the post body for each of the attachments.

The voltage is much more stable now, I don't have the issue with the turn signals or any random voltage drops when sitting at a light or anything. But I have to figure out what is causing the transmission to not shift until the voltage drops to like the 1/4 mark on the voltage gauge. On hard acceleration the trans wont shift, then you'll see the voltage gauge drop to the 1/4 mark, trans will then shift and voltage gauge will go back to normal.

That doesn't sound good... It's almost like the alternator is shutting down at higher RPMs...

Yeah, I am going to see about changing out the alternator, but since I am putting in a system, I am thinking about doing the AD244 upgrade while I am at it.
