AutoZone bench tested both alt's out of car and both read fine and at 13.8. But once put in the car, volt meter check shows a voltage regulator failure. And while in car, alt & battery read lower at 11.8. Thought maybe something was wrong with wiring so tried to bypass communication from alt to computer. Still same issues.

Fungirl, i had the same issue with my Saleen. I went through a few alternators from autozone and had the same issue. I gave Jason at 281 a call and well long story short he orderd a stock ford alternator and till this day no issues at all. So my suggestion is get a stock alternator.
