Put the meter across the Battery with the engine shutdown or you can put the meter on some other truck/car and see what it reads you could also go to A local autoparts store and They will have A multimeter they can put on your system to confirm the integrity of your meter. I had A bad meter that read approx 18V at my bat. It was A craftsman they replaced the meter. Instead of screwing around with the external regulator $. Buy A internally regulated alternator easy install and be done with it.
