By chance if anyone sees this that has the same problem, I did end up having to change my alternator out. The problem kept coming back. 2nd new alternator in the 4runner and all my voltage problems have been fixed. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Turns out I didnt understand how internally regulated alternators worked. You were 100 percent right. Sensing wire apparently didnt have a good connection. I took off the plug and everything looked good. Put the plug back in and pushed it on as hard as i could. Problem seems to be fixed for...

I believe the alternator plug does not play a role in voltage regulation but I could be wrong. I was under the impression that plug is responsible for turning the dash light on for the battery. Also i put the battery in at 12.6 volts, so no problems there. I'm going to replace my alternator...
