Maybe. Note that a bad positive cable connection at the terminal could cause the voltage to fluctuate too. You may also want to consider the alternator wiring fix if the grounds and terminal connections check out fine.
"if it is the pullies I might just take them out ..."
Only one way to know.
much rather not take them out if I can help it ...
well the rapid voltage fluctuation has never happened before, the old alternator was getting weak so I replaced it, I will try to double check my connections tomorrow
just read the rewire how to and I am not sure that is my issue, this has never happened before today ... I have not had a battery light on or have had it flicker, new alternator puts out the right voltage, but at engine speeds above about 3k the voltage fluctuates rapidly between 14.1 and 14.7 volts ...
