hummmmmm....did you have your AC on?

Did you get your alt from Advance Auto? If so, take it back, cause that's prolly the problem. I went through 9 alts from Advance Auto in 1 day, trying to find one that worked right. They tested each of them in the store, and they worked fine, but when I put em on my car, they wouldn't charge right, or they would whine and then the gauge would drop. Finally, after 3 different stores, I found one that worked right.

Ya, you can't rely on them being tested all the time.
