New Alternator
I've been having problems with my 2004 ram 1500 where when I stop at stop lights and my car dies. I have had it tested at the local autozone. my battery guage has been goin crazy when i sit at idle. I have come to the conclusion that i need a new alternator. is there a specific kind that i should invest in. I hear that autozone and advanced auto parts get their parts from china and that they are poorly made. any ideas on this?

Ok but what does that mean? I know, after looking online, that the PCM, or powertrain control module, does many things along the lines of diagnostics and such but does that mean that I need to get it reprogramed in order to allow for a full usage of the 160 amps? If so, how do i go about doing the reprogramming? Thanks for the help though. Much appreciated.
