Autozone tests are typically no more comprehensive than what we just did here....

Yeah, you dont need autozone to tell you if an alternator is bad, lol.

I would, but if im popping it of may as well just put a new one on, clean connections, and do it myself. Plus once im on my back id rather not get up till the job is done lol. Sicne i have a hard time getting up anyway.

I'm going to disagree with that. I've known people here, people on the forum, and have myself been told an alternator was good when in fact it was not.

and ive had people tell me the broccoli tastes really good yet the smell is horrid and id never eat it. its a good start for someone who doesnt have the tools or time to mess with it. with every service there will always be a margin of error. some electronics will fail when heated. test on the car in that case

Rather than have this turn into something, I'll just leave this thread
