Silverado charging issue


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just recently my 2007 silverado classic started to charge higher than normal 15.2. I have a dc270. Not very old. Took big 3 wiring out and still does the same. My buddy has a 2005 with th same alt. his has been doing this for a month. We can't figure out why. If this continues I will be tearing everything out and selling

Was that year PCM controlled? If not maybe the regulator in the alt going bad? Do you still have stock alt to see if the stock will have high voltage as well? maybe try putting a load see what happens.

On a different note what you got for sale?

If it's worth building, it's worth over building.

For everybody with PCM controlled alts in gm. 05+ Tahoe/silverado ect. When you do the big 3 you need to run your big 3 ground through the GBCM. It's a sensor ring right next to the battery that measures some kind of current to regulate the charging

what if you've bypassed the pcm( internally regulated) do you still have to do this?

Interesting, I need to look more into this. Any chance you could post a pic of what you're talking about?

One time when I was working on my alt, I had connected the lead that turns the alt on (the one that comes from the battery into the alt plug), then disconnected it, and the voltage shot up to 15.2. I don't know if that has anything to do with what is happening to yours though.
