Charging volts

What are you guys 6.0's seeing for an idle charge and higher revs?

I'm seeing 12.6-12.7 at idle and 13.6-13.7 at higher rpms.

My V-10 did 13.6 idle and 14.4 at rpm

Is this a normal charge for a diesel?

Thanks!

I guess it's time to look for a better one. 12.6 isn't going to cut it with the stereo. Does anyone know if they are internally regulated?

Well the amp output is pretty weak for what I'm looking for but then throw in that I can't get a full charge for the sound system makes it that much worse.
