Well got the battery checked and its good.

Got home and installed the Battery and checked the voltage and it was 12.5 when i put it in.. then a few seconds later I checked the volts again and it was at around 11.8..

pulled the plug off the alternator like stated above and then checked the volts and it shot back up to 12.5 volts..

also checked it 3 hrs later with the plug off the alternator and its still at 12.5..

so off to find a alternator tomorrow... Anyone know where to find one for a decent price???

cause autozone and discount are saying 250 + for a new or reman one...
