Ok, Chevrolet called this morning.

Here is the scoop.


At idle my alternator is not turning fast enough to generate more than 12.8 volts. As soon as you get about 100-150 rpm above idle it kicks to 14.5 volts.

They reccommend that I get something called an "idle kicker" which is an aftermarket product they tell me that will bump my idle up enough to keep me out of the red zone.

Has anyone heard of these? If so, any idea on where to get one and how hard they are to install.

As a side note, I have the smaller of the two pulley's they sent with the HO Alt installed. Unless there is an even smaller pulley out there, i think that may be a dead end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
