13.58v at 2000rpms both battery and alternator were tested and were ok
Automotive Expert
13.5 is right at the low point does it fluctuate when its running?, have you scanned for any codes yet ? how was the alternator tested?

Actually 11.56 was the low point but what would cause the motor to start missing lose power and lose power steering
Automotive Expert
ok that would be a bad alternator if its fluctuating that much, it needs to be replaced

Then why would all 3 places say that is good
Automotive Expert
its just a basic test,if there are no codes in the system and the wires are ok , if its fluctuating that much it should be replaced

Okay do you know any thing about lb7 6.6 duramax
Automotive Expert

Haven't driven car in 2 years and I need to smog it to validate my registration
Buy a brand new battery that is fully charged prior to installation so that you do not needlessly load the alternator. Change the engine oil and filter. Ideally, you should pressurize the oil system (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-mpl-101?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-melling&gclid=CMad36nQ_tECFR61wAodtbMCkg) prior to starting, otherwise you...
