All the info I found on this site helped me diagnose and realize I had to replace my alternator. Much easier jacking up the right side and working/ dropping the alternator from the bottom. Wiggled it around the axles and muffler but it was so much easier removing. Voltage now reads 14.4 after starting, all the little unexplained electronic gremlins disappeared (including squealing) and actually idles better.
Thank to all who posted info on this subject- wanted to share that this job was much easier than anticipated- from the bottom up!
181K miles, leaks a little oil, beater extrordinaire.
