Hi CntrlAltDie,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

Look at the primary wire at the back of your alternator. If memory serves, it's a 10 gauge fusible link. It should go to a junction slightly below the alternator on the block. Make sure the junction is tight.

Man, 6K for a new computer to a vehicle still under warranty, that's a travesty. New warranties truly are written on toilet paper.

I don't understand why this wouldn't be a warranty issue, have you done something to void it?
