Default alternator fluctuating

My alternator is fluctuating what seems like more than normal. Especially at night. My lights will constantly flicker and also my interior lights do the same thing. If I unplug the charging sensor deal on the negative cable it will stay constant around 14. It wouldn't bother me so much if my lights only flickered every once in a while. But it gets rather annoying. Ive added and extra ground from the block to the body and a huge 0 or 00 from the alternator to the battery trying to fix the issue but it still does the same thing.

I just got done fixing the exact same problem. It was the alternator. The bearings felt fine. It wasn't making noise. I got tired of the headlights flickering and threw a new alternator on and bam, done.

Mine has been doing it since new. Most notably when it down shifts as I slow. I just deal with it.
