travon47 is an unknown quantity at this point
To those running a wiring specialties wiring harness and a CTS-V drive accessory kit (Part Number: 809-19299070 ), the alternator is a 3 wire setup that does not work with the f body style alternator plug. to get around this you can order a CTS-V 04-06 ctsv alternator (ACDelco 25766345) that runs a f body style regulator with the single wire plug (2 wire setup). This started charging right away for me after putting a 470ohm 1/2 watt resister in line right after the alternator plug on the harness. I tried the self exciting alternator from mechman with no success and would not recommend doing this after attempting. You can have them put in a fbody style regulator in your alternator you got with the drive accessory kit like a friend of mine did but for some reason Mechman will not do it for me and wont email me back when I offered to pay for it to be done after their modifications not working. But I would not recommend them as they have horrible customer service.
