Well I feel like a retard... I had compared dvom reading to gauge reading several times w the key on engine off and they were the same so I had it in my head that the gauge was good....
Doing some more testing today I had the engine running and checked between engine block and starter lug and to my surprise got 13.6v.... puzzled... tested at bat and again 13.6v.... a few more moments of haze and then w a big homer simpson DOH!.... clarity set in.... crawled under the dash and tested at the back of the gauge.... yeah.... 13.6v there too!!!

Dammit I KNOW better... worse yet Spare TOLD me better....

I swear I was smarter 20 yrs ago.... ugh

You're fine. You simply had a senior moment.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
