Well, had the alternator tested today...failed the diode test...which I figured it would...cause the diodes are actually what trigger the "GEN" light on our dashes...

That's what we do have it tested and buy what is bad i always replace the battery when i change alt. went through 3 remaned ones on my impala before we got a good one and they were the most expensive ones of the remaned. Can't imagine what one for my cummins will be the starter was well over 250.00$.

I just replaced mine as well, I went the Advanced Auto Parts route as there are nothing but a bunch of clowns in the Autozone by me. I went ahead and got the heavy duty 136 amp alternator. Make sure to keep your receipt for the lifetime warranty!

My alt is from Advance too, but our store logs your warranty like Autozone does....no receipt needed, just your phone #
