Default alternator finally went

drivin to work this mornin at 4am, my radio kept loosing power . turn signal killed the radio as well as the a/c doin the same. guess my alt finally has bitten the dust. got a great rate from Carquest (since I have an account there ) so I am replacin it here shortly.

maybe a DIY????

At least yours didn't catch on fire and blow the 150 amp fuse like mine did!

I hear that CowboyBob. I had that happen on a '95 on Thanksgiving morning. And the great part is that the 150 amp fuse is pretty much a Dodge only part.
