Question headlights

As i was driving home from work i noticed that my headlights flicker and the faster the engine reves the faster they flicker i have grounding straps from the engine to the frame and frame to the cab and from battery to the rad core suport. Could it be my alternator or somthing else i have already replaced the regulator and the battery the only thing left is the altanator.
please anyone know?

Re: headlights

When you are at idel does your lights go dim and then come back up when you out the gas to it? If so then it is the alternator.

Re: headlights

dimming at idle is acceptible with the old set up like he is running.
You probably have a bed regulator.
