X2 on the DC Power alternator I have had one for about 8 months now and works Great with my stereo system. Plus they are all NEW Product no rebuild to worrey about
I tried an OEM from Ford and smoked it in 5000 miles
Plus with DC Power alternator you get to keep your alternator for a backup there is no core charge or anything like that

check it out^^^^^^ They are a little spendy but well worth it in long run
At 12 volts your alternator is Likely Bad
My alternator Hits 14.3-14.6 volts while its charging then settles down to 13.3-13.6 volts
Get Batterys checked and clean all Battery cables and connections Make shure you clean the Main Grounds on by A/C Compressor and one to the frame by the power steering pump
