1983 dodge d150 overcharged battery
Voltage regulator is new. Alternator is new. Grounds are good. When just key turned VR reads 11.7V while battery reads 12.6 when truck is on the voltage just slowly rises in both battery and alternator. I'm thinking at this point the voltage drop from the old wiring between the VR and the battery is causing the alternator to run to high causing overcharge. I don't have the time to do a full rewiring at the moment and had seen on some forums people do a bypass trick. Like the pic below.
