No just the same stock replacement one. I may have fixed it all ready, I disconnected the battery for a while (30min) and it seems alot better all ready.

I typically see about 14.0 volts when driving. At idle I'll see a drop to about 13.5 volts. Some accessories like a rear window defogger will zap about 0.5 volts.

I have 14.5 at idle up front. And 14.3 in the back where the battery is.

My MDM-100 says 14.1v while driving and idleing, and 13.5v when my belt slips and makes all kinds of crazy noises!:D
