star would turn on. Replaced the alternator. Got it

Thank you for your advice. Taking it into the Chevy dealer next week. Went out and drove it this morning to figure it out. At higher speeds with heat on voltage stays up. When I come into town is the problem. Taking off from stop sign voltage drops if heat is on. Shut the heat off and it will stay fine at stop sign.
