I got it!!! I think I'm gonna go apply with NASA now I truly appreciate the help StickMon and Pokey. Just so we're clear, I didn't mean to thread jack here. I just thought It'll help others find it all on the same thread. Again thanks a bunch!
My alternator seems to have a lot of "dust" going in. I found a lot of old engine oil dripping from the engine onto the big cover I removed to access the pulleys. I suspect this "dried up oil/grease-like residue" created this black dust and collected itself inside the alternator. Could this possibly be the issue causing my alternator to read low voltage?
