Checked all of the cables, put everything back together after having the alternator tested. Started it up (after barely being able to jump it with my Viggen) Now reading 14.1 volts while running. Drive it around a while to get it heated up. Back at home, still measuring good voltage, 13.8VDC. Fan kicks on Voltage is 13.6, back to 13.8 when the fan shuts off.
Shut the car off, let it sit for perhaps 5 mins, and started it back up. Now reading 13.0 VDC. Looks like the heat-soak is killing the alternator. I'm going to let it cool off again, and retest the voltage. Hopefully I'll receive the same results, at least then I'll be fairly certain the alternator is faulty.
