[QUOTE="joemomma, post: 1539685, member: 25929"] On the way home yesterday - actually it began as soon as I started the car to go home. Battery light came on and I noticed voltmeter was a good bit lower than it usually sits. First thought was alternator losing it, so I killed all accessories and HVAC and started for home. Voltmeter was continuing to drop, but I managed to barely get it home. At one point, several other idiot lights came on and the tach stopped working, but I made it home. Anyway - seems I'm in the market for an alternator. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm guessing this is the factory alternator and it finally gave up the ghost - it had a pretty good system in it when I got it, and I have since replaced that with a comparable system due to some failed components. So, are the SVE 130A any good? I don't really want to spend $250 for a PA, unless the SVE is junk. What about the stuff from VatoZone/etc? [/QUOTE]
