yeah,plan on replacing before it dies and takes out the battery or leaves you stranded-but just for kicks,check belt first to make sure it is tensioned properly!

Wow 360k on original alternator? and here I was thinking of replacing mine at 200k just for safety sake! guess I will hold off on that now!

You did real good! Glad to hear that you're up and running. Did you find out what had failed on your alternator? Did you replace the belt?

Very good james, got your voicemail.. This is probably the easiest repair you've had in recent history... knock on wood!

It's amazing what low or unstable voltage will do to electronics
