it's all the way up by red most of the time. When I turn the car off it only goes down to half way. I remember it used to go down the whole way. When the key is on the on position the needle points a little above middle, and when the car is on, the needle is all the way almost up to red, and a little below. Voltage reading from the battery reads 13.3ish at idle and doesn't go higher then 14.66 at around 3k rpms. Anyone have any idea what happened to my gauge? Are these readings ok? Let me know

I seem to remember that those were acceptible readings when i did the 3g swap on my car. Do you have the 3g or the 75amp? If you've still got the 75 then i have no clue where the voltage should be...
