Default Voltage Regulator??

Hi guys, I'm having some trouble with my C6Z. During a pull, over 4500ish RPM my ABS light, Traction control light, and service active handling all flash on the dash. I noticed tonight that the volt meter is maxing out, so no more fun until i get this figured out. Does this sound like a bad voltage regulator to you? The Alternator keeps the battery charged and it sits right above 14v when idling/cruising. I'm hoping a simple alternator rebuild/replacement will take care of this but i want to be sure i'm looking in the right place here.

Thanks in advance

How old is the battery? First make sure you don't have a sick battery.

The battery was replaced this summer, and I keep it on a tender. However, I believe the car has a slow drain. Maybe I'll pull both the battery and alternator and see if I can get them tested. Do you find Auto Zone testing to be accurate or should i look for a dedicated alternator shop to test both
