I saved that star report, some of this stuff may come in handy some day, as this is something I have never played with. Thanks Dean2
Sometimes, FCA actually gets it right and some info leaks out that is useful, lol.

Update: So I had time yesterday to pull the battery & make sure it was fully charged up. While the battery was charging I changed out the old alternator for a new one & then performed the procedure in the Mopar Bulletin @Dean2 posted after putting everything back together. I left the negative leads coming off the IBS disconnected for 4 hrs. Everything seemed to work properly afterward & was also good to go this morning when I went out and started it. Thers no more 11.8 to 12.3 volts for a few minutes after startup before it goes up. It's right at 14.67 & no "Red Battery" symbol or low battery voltage message. I'll update again in a few days on its status. Thanks everyone for your knowledge and input here on Ramforum, couldn't have done it without you all.
@craigweiler so I'm having the exact same issue. Do you think that replacing the alternator is what did the fix? I’ve looked at the Dean2’s post about the IBS sensor and don’t think that’s my problem either. But this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance for the help and bless you for posting this!
