voltage issues
I have a 96 Ram 2500 Diesel 218k miles and has been very good to me but recently the voltmeter started tweakin' out and is charging higher than usual. The alternator tested good and the voltage regulator is inside the ECU I hate to spend that much to replace it and not be the problem. Help me....

RE: voltage issues
First measure your voltage with a separate meter because you may not even have a problem. Most vehicle meters are there to let you know about big changes and aren't very accurate. If a decent digital meter shows 13.5 - 13.8 when the battery is fully charged, all is good.
The easy way is a cheap cigarette lighter connector from an auto store with wires attached to volt meter clips. Wrap the connects with electrical tape, plug it in and watch what happens when the battery gets fully charged as you drive.
