Worth noting

Just a note for others looking for voltage drop

Installed a new alternator because the old one needed new brush's and bearing's. Long story short while the new one worked it was only putting out 13.33 VDC. Tried several things until I took off the negative cable to the engine block. Upon cleaning the connection and reinstalling the voltage jumped to 14.57 VDC

Kinda Funny...

With all the hi-tech stuff we have to deal with when it breaks, something simple like connection quality can bite your butt just as quick.
