Ok maybe somebody can help me out..
When I am driving mainly at night, when my lights are on. My volt meter and will be jumping all over the place like it's surging. This happens while I am sitting still and also when I am driving. It's holding a charge but the headlights and inside lights will dim also. I have put a brand new battery and upgraded to a 3g alternator which I just had tested under a load and was fine.. Anybody have any clue what is going wrong is there a fusible link somewhere in the wires from the alternator that could have gone bad. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated..

Sounds like a flakey connection.
There is a fuseable link. One end connects to the starter solenoid, the other to the cable that comes from the alternator.

yea thanks for the diagram ... I taped up the black wires cause didn't have any use for them since I upgraded the alternator, I ran a 4 guage power wire from the back of the alternator to the battery
