Well, now when the fans kick on high, it drops to 12.5v and holds.
I can live with that, but I definitely want to do the big 3 and see where that gets me. Then a new alt to top it off.

All that said, I still haven't gone in for my fan or airbag recall.
So maybe the fans are pulling more than they should be.
Another member here who installed two 700w fans and a Derale fan forced transmission started having trouble with the stock alternator not being able to keep up. He ended up going with a larger alternator AND a smaller pulley on it. @thompsoj22

the fan recall is because "some" fan wire harness's will melt right near the harness connector, the "recall" is just replacing the harness connector with a new one and a couple butt connectors. I ended up just buying one of the harness connectors from the recall because one of my fan motors started to short out and sure enough melted the connector. I only noticed it because my fans were not being as loud as they normally are and I decided to investigate when only 1 fan was working and as soon as I bumped the harness the other fan kicked on
