Mine shows a drop in voltage when put in reverse but it seems to be OK at the battery.

Hmm, mine actually holds at around 14v.  Although I know it's not that accurate.  My 2M radio has a volt meter built into it so I can double check it at start-up.  The stock gauge is pretty cheap though.  It comes out easy enough.  I'd like to eventually change out all of my gauges for aftermarket sealed units.  If your Jeep has a cowl leak, it usually leaks into the back of all the gauges which causes them to be inaccurate over time.

my voltage gauge goes up and down with the blinkers... I'm not too trusting of it.

Noticed that tonight.  Did not drop as low as I thought cause the gauge only goes down to 9 V.  and it did not go that low   More like 10.5 was as low as it got.

Need to look my fog lights up cause they sure do put a draw on the system.

Here is what I got for fog Lights they should not put that much strain on it.
