charging issues

the 13.6 is actually up now to around 13.8 or so across the battery while running. i checked all voltage in and out of the steering column and not one wire read under or over 13.6-8 v while running. the battery sits at 12.3 v with the car off. i have around 14.4 coming off of the alt + stud to ground. i have not felt any warm wires and it seems as though the signals are working better. i really need to get a volt gauge because im not really sure exactly what it is charging at.
