Seems like it is higher than it used to be. My battery is good and no DIC faults. Is my regulator going out or is this normal?

TIA

That seems fine. Does it go down if you turn on your lights? It should fluctuate a little as you add more of a load to it.

General rule of thumb is when the car is running if the alternator is putting out between 13.8 and 14.4 volts than all is good.
