[DML] TOO MUCH POWER?

[Todd Nelson <tan5732@xxxxxxx>]

List:

I never thought I would be saying this about the Delorean, but I think I have too much power!  What I mean is that my voltages seem unordinary high (I Think).  Even running under a good load, blowers on high, radio, high-beams, the voltage still reads around 15 Volts (just under the orange mark on the gauge).  The only thing that will knock it down a little is when the cooling fans kick on, even then it's around 14V.  I have recently installed John Herveys 110 Amp alternator and a new battery.  It doesn't seem like I'm overcharging the battery since it never goes any higher than 15V, but it does get awful close to that orange mark.  The battery light is working so I don't think I am overworking the alternator.  I haven't tested the voltage with my DMM so it could be that the gauge is off, but I doubt it.  Should I be concerned with this, or have I just promoted how great Hervey's alternators are?

Any Thoughts?
