<p>Good morning, Dawn; </p>

<p> No, you were not dreaming. There have been some adjustable voltage regulators, but you almost had to know where to go to find them. Normally they are designed and intended for use with the standard battery voltage of 13.8 V DC, but for some applications where the "standard" conditions may not apply, and for use by people who had some idea of what they were doing when changing from the "standard" settings. </p>

<p>Yeah, the electric problem is still on the table. The mechanic futzed with it but I believe nothing was solved. He went on vacation and I had to get her back. I'm going to call him Monday and follow up on that conversation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Tomorrow will get an opportunity to drive long enough to do as you suggest and see if it drops.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Did I also pick up some sort of information that sometimes an alternator has an adjustment? Or…</p>

<p>Currently no squealing belts - we lost all the belts twice on the way over from Denver (first mechanic replaced belts but not the loose pulley - 45 minutes down the road they were off again). My mechanic double-checked them all and I have spares now for the future. Took them 4 hours both time to run them down. Shouldn't have, but was in the middle of Tennessee - not near any towns of consequence, so maybe that was the issue.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'll report back here what I discover...</p>
