More like something is shorting, or somebody has installed an LED incorrectly.

I'll have to check the starter tomorrow.
What do you mean by "installed a LED incorrectly"

If some body replaced an incandescent bulb with an LED without understanding that an LED is a switch that glows when it's on, then you get a short to ground.

Of course today I went to go start the caright AND....it's fine. Goes to 14.3 after starting up, 13.6ish when I turn loads on, and I haven't seen below 11.9 yet today.

I checked grounds again, all secured, check battery voltage 12.5, checked alt 13 even, and checked connections at battery. Everything checks out. For ha has I went to autozone and had them check the system and everything checks good.

I guess I have an intermittent problem, guess I'll just keep driving until it's prominent.
