Default 00 Tahoe 5.3L on a 97 5.7 Vortec

Screwed up the title, it should read: 00 Tahoe 5.3L alternator on a 97 5.7 vortec

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Finally got my 5.7 vortec swap all done and completed on my 98 Blazer 4x4. I’ve put about 160ish miles and haven’t had a problem till I went WOT. I have/had a 130amp 8237a (advance auto) alternator from a buddy from a 00 Tahoe 5.3L and the battery holds a charge fine, but when running it’s reading about 11.5 and drops slowly so it’s not charging. I have a single wire for the alternator on my alternator harness plug and am wondering if I need to modify it to work with this style alternator? I’ve read a few things but am not sure if I murdered the voltage regulator on the Alternator. Hopefully someone can help
