Well when the security system wouldn't let me start the car he said i killed it so im guessing he was fooled by a bad dealer a couple times the pass key resistor on the key was worn and a little dirty but none the less not the origninal alternator

What does the alternator have to do with the Pass Key system?

pass key would malfunction. he couldnt start it would have it towed to a chevy dealer they would tell him the alternator had seized so he would have them replace it.

And I'm guessing after the alternator was replaced it still didn't start? Considering the two systems have nothing to do with each other.
