but it does sound like it would be the alternator on it's way out....because under WOT it should *in theory* actually start charging the battery more so if anything the volts should jump up rather than die down

Where's the Beef?

mines been doing it for a while to. Even have a new alternator cuz mine when out over the summer. Still does it. I may have to look into a new belt or something some time to see if it fixes the problem. Makes sense that is slippage cuz after a few seconds the voltage pics back up.

Josh, if I get it done I'll post up what I find.

I realize that
If I remember correctly, the alternator has done it since it was new, belt is the next cheapest thing to check though, so that's where I'm going to focus on next. lol

And I believe the answer is .......... Belt slip..
When working on it I got under the hood and ran the throttle by hand, when you give it a quick shot of throttle, you can watch the belt walk on the idler pully. Looks like I"m gonna be looking for a slightly shorter belt, or a much tighter tenstioner pully
