Srsly? That is what was giving you all that grief? If the alternator was not giving charge then you would have more problems than just fans not turning on...
Like, no starting, hard starting, rough idle, dead battery, etc...
Any of those sound familiar?

lol i knew i wasnt the only person confussed about this. im goin to test the car this weekend to see what happens ,he says something like the the charge is above 13 the fans come on and my **** stays below 13 so the fans dont kick in yet.
So basically he is saying that i cant use the airconditioner in this hot texas weather, also cant even listen to my radio(probably what zach was talking about).

Check the fan relay. If that is good, then you have bum fans. The ONLY reason the fans wouldn't kick on when the car is running is if they have crapped out. If you can start the car, there is enough electricity to run the fans.
Your car may also start slow because your starter is about to **** itself.

Ummm...yea at 200,00 miles you need a new starter. Man you gotta look at it this way. With that car that many miles you could have multiple things going out at once that all look like one simple problem. Like I said you need to get a guy that know s LT1's to take a good hard look at your car and give you a straight up diagnostic on where your cooling system and electrical system stands.
