my alternator is charging at 13.5- 13.8 volts at full loads it drops to 12.5, not what it should be. I bought a couple of used ones from hmt guys and ebay they came seized no worky.

yes I run a system no shame in my game. 2 amps and 2 subs dvc. plus the law requires us to have our light on always, plus it winter so heat on always, bought new battery run it in car, and still need to jump it everyday. power windows,locks, and alarm system.

so what I like good music at high volume with heavy hitting bass? as long as it come out on race day, and I still haul ass in the streets.

You have bad grounds. Load the electrical system up for a couple minutes so it gets nice and hot, and run your hands up and down the ground straps and feel for where the alternator's ground path has failled.

Halfassed ground straps and high loads are a lot of fun. If and when the last strap making halfassed connection corrodes enough, the engine seeks ground through the speedo cable causing it to catch on fire and melt. Good times.

after this issue started I installed all new ground wires, it never fix the problem, I even installed a new engine harness. I've put grond straps in places where it seemed stupid
