new alternator
my mechanic just installed a new alternator in my 1997 F 150 4 x 4. mileage is 125,000 miles
I noticed that the battery guage now points to the absolute top in the red zone. when it runs.
I checked voltage with multi meter when turned off......12 volts
I checked voltage at idle 14 volts
now a week later the dayalight running lights flickered and quit
and the high beam lights don't work
and one headlight is not working4
park lights work fine
any idea what the problem is?
thanks

I would say a cheap alternator voltage regulator... take it back to your mechanic.
