My truck has operated really well over the last few years, but last year I had to replace my alternator and for a few months it drove great, then it started infrequently over voltage the charging I would estimate it's sending about 16volts to the batteries then months later it started unlocking and locking the converter while at any speed over 40mph, I read some articles about ac leakage and put tin foil around the wire harness around the alternator this greatly relieved the locking and unlocking but not completely, I also replaced the diode pack, that worked for a day or so then back to over voltage and locking and unlocking, then the tin foil. it drives better. much less surging but the over voltage I would really like to get resolved.
I also had the batteries load tested , they are fine. so any suggestions?
