I do believe my alternator has given up the ghost. At the moment I am trying to rule out all other possibilities before I order a new one.
Tried starting the car the other day and the battery was completely dead. Didnt seem to want to push start either. I had the battery charged and tested and replaced the terminals. Checked the fuses/underhood wiring and noticed nothing abnormal.
After the battery was charged it started up on the first turn but wanted to die if the revs dropped and the battery light stayed on even with a bit of gas.
I'm about to start poking things with a multimeter, is there anything else I should check while I am at it?
If I'm going to be replacing the alternator, how complicated/expensive is the high output chevy alternator swap?
