Makes no sense - check it with another DVOM.

I don't know if this is a problem with my Dakota's electrical system or my
volt meter.
Tested at battery engine off. DVM set to 20. +-13v
Tested at battery engine off. DVM set to 200. +-13v
Tested grounded on engine strap and power source at alt. DVM set to 20.
Engine off. +-13v

Engine off. +-13v
Tested grounded on engine strap and power source at alt. DVM set to 20.
Engine running. +-13v
Tested grounded on engine strap and power source at alt. DVM set to 200.
Engine running. +-25v
See this last one really throws me off. Only when it's running, grounded
anywhere except on battery (that's in the bed) and main power source (like
the alt. lead) and DVM set to 200 VDC I get a high reading. I hope it's my
DVM
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James
