      I talked to the original owner Kevin a year after buying the car and he showed me old photos of it in Florida before it came up to ohio, guy definitely loved this car. Shame it's poptart crust now.

      Sway bars just fell off the frame not too long ago and one of the front wheels is pushed up farther than the other one right where he said the subframe cracked.... Rear driver side has a decent hole through the frame too. Was told it was completely unsafe to drive at this point so I only drive it here and there. Will probably drive it until it gives out completely or part out within next couple years.

      So when the alternator fails to receive voltage control from the ECM, it'll default to 13.8 as a fail-safe strategy. This lower system voltage is what you are seeing as a symptom of the problem. In regards to the DTC you're getting, there are two different symptom bytes which are key for diagnosis: "66" which is you have the sensor installed backwards or "08" for signal invalid. The latter can be either from a bad sensor (just because its new doesn't mean its good) or a wiring issue. The battery sensor is a 3 wire hall effect that has a voltage reference (12V+), as well as a signal and low reference (ground) to the BCM. If you're confident the sensor is good and oriented correctly, then I would check the wiring.

      It's possible, but not simple bolt-on.  Miko K has done it on his highly modified Cutlass.
