charging issues i have a 08 ls3 vette with full exhaust cam and tune and just recently tha alternator stopped charging, it acts different everytime i start it, sumtimes it 13 sumtimes its 14 sumtimes its 11 ever heard of this before
Alternator could just simply be on its way out. I just changed mine this week. It has been gradually dying over the past couple weeks. It would charge, then it wouldn't and the battery would be low. Then it would charge fine and the battery would be fully charged.
Take the battery out and bring it to Advance Auto for a test, if its not good you probably need a new alternator.
Also, when I took mine out the "excitor wire" that clips into the alternator was frayed. Maybe it was slowly breaking through and killed my alternator. Check that wire.
