Common issue on the '99 cars, GM issued TSB 99-08-49-009 to replace the gauge cluster. Shouldn't do it with good battery voltage though. Did you relocate the battery? It's at least a 690 CCA?

I'll chime in here....EVERY time this has happened on my 99Z, I did all the same things y'all are doing..try this, try that. It has always been fixed by REPLACING my battery. I dunno why , as the batteries had good voltage (with DMM) while off, and while running, but I don't remember if I ever checked what the voltage drop was while cranking the engine.
Again, replace your battery= problem solved. (Oh, and what kind of charging issue are you having?)

at idle i only have 11.0-11.2 volts. its been an issue for awhile. i cant find it. i have 4 alternaters on my bench trying to fix it. tried 3 batteries. rewired all the grounds and power to alt, fuse/ relay junction, battery. still an issue. its a little btter then it was. im getting 12.8-13.0 volts while driving it was around 12.4-12.5. last time at the track it dropped all the way to 9.0 during my nitrous passes turning the spray off completely. on motor it was dropping to 10.8.
