That is what the regulator does. At an idle the generator might not make much voltage. The advantage of an alternator is that it will. Nothing wrong with that on most trucks. Turn the idle up while measuring the volts at the battery. If the volts comes up to about 14.5 you are fine. If not, recheck the wires to the regulator and the generator. This Tech Tip will help: http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/electrical/electrical.html You will get it fixed. Enjoy
