    2006 Gen II - runs rough between 2k and 3k RPM...unless cooling fans are running

    Well I think you are chasing a bunch of red herrings. First sort out your power system problem. Definitely 13.4 volts at the RR is not right. You should see at least 14.1 volts there and also at the battery if the charging 'system' and battery and DC grounds are good. So as already mentioned...

    OK, it's time to say "Goodbye".
