What is the max voltage you should see while going down the road from a 160 amp Leece Neville alternator? 2003 ISL 400.

On my 2006 Alpine Coach, the most voltage I see is a range of 13.9 to 14.1 as shown by the Silverleaf monitor.

14.4 is what most regulators are set to.

Don't trust your gauge, mine reads 15.5 on the dash board.
Its about 14 volts at the batteries.

Although I replaced the LN with an Delco, I consistently get 14.1V read out in the dash gauge. And because I went to the 200A output alternator, the coach seems to work much better than it used to with the old one.

Check the charging voltage at the batteries. Normally 13.8 to about 14.1 volts MAXIMUM.
