Well dom just emailed me back finally. He said that check to see if plug is on tight, already did that. Said that under-load alternator turns off. I had zero load on it. I'm going to call him tomorrow and get me a autozone alternator and put it on and see what happens. F#$K I do NOT want to take the alternator back off. It's HE#LL!

No. My abs light don't even work nor does the abs. But battery light does not come on though.

Ok.I just figured you would see some dimming with voltages going sub 12.8 volts.

yeah same here. you still didn't answer where you are taking your voltage measurements. you said you used a dmm, but are you actually getting out of your car and measuring across the battery at the stop signs?

Actually no, but I did have my DMM connected directly to my amplifier, where my rear battery connects directly to the rear battery. And it does in fact shows those voltages. And it's off by maybe 0.1 0.2 from my front. I have notice that when the car has not been started for a few hours/sat for few hours or overnight. When I start it a belt would squeak. After its warmed up it won't do it anymore unless I have the car sitting for few hours. Seems as if the belt loosen a little bit. I am going to try to tighten it more to see if it helps. (After it squeaks and warm up I'd rev to see if it would squeak it does not).
