Bill is the best person as you already know. I think the PCM controls how much charge load the alternator is commanded to run but I'm really not sure. Start with the obvious things first, insuring all connections are clean and tight. Check the ground connections and one that I think Bill has mentioned is right between the battery and the fuse box. Codes?????
