[QUOTE="2023 LTZ, post: 8840836, member: 686684"] I’m not certain but I believe if you request an idle voltage a manufacturer would likely be able to suit the need. Don’t forget that often when speaking about alternators, rpm’s are referring to the alternators rpm not the engine rpm. My impala is 3:1 so at idle which is 700rpm the alternator is at 2,100 rpm. Much to be said of a manufacturer’s ability ir willingness to share information requested. Those bnr may be ok yet if a person gets a $187 alternator and it doesn’t meet expectations then it’s $187 WASTED. Talk to a few places. I rolled the dice on “Tucson alternator” bc they specialize in gm alternators. The customer service guy was assuring in his answers to my questions. Turns out they’re great and zero complaints. If no one ever answers the phone or you get a bad feeling, look somewhere else. Many manufacturers, possibly in your neighborhood offer good products. [/QUOTE]
