I have an aftermarket alt and it's not working right. It's test fine but when I put it in I have the same issue. When my factory alt was in its fine, so I wanna go over all the grounds and replace them and see if that fixes it. I have 4 xs power batteries all grounded to the frame.
Here is a vid of what it's doing. There's also a recurring whine coming from the alt at the same pace as the gauge flutter

Thanks for any help

Run with just one battery and monitor your system. Add one battery at a time and monitor... see if you notice any differences and go from there.
 












Still does it just not as bad, probably because there less of a load on the alt
 






"still does it"???? does what... whine?, voltage change? Anyways, personally, if the alternator is whining, its the alternator and not a ground... grounds don't whine... :-) my guess is a bearing has a minor issue and possibly the commutator has pitting possibly.
