Stock alternator just died, ****!

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

its fairly easy to check the functioning of an alternator with a meter. connect the meter across the battery set for volts dc, it will read 12.6 volts. start the car and apply a load to the alternator, headlights, stereo, etc. the voltage should go up to 13.8-14.6 volts if your alternator is working. if its not you'll get a reading below 12.6 volts.

If I can't start my car what do I do?

I **** at life... sanded the terminals and reconnected everything to the battery and it's running fine.

14 volts at the battery when the car is on... going to go to AutoZone to have it checked out for free, just to make sure.

Appreciate it dude, now I can stall on the HO alternator and get my Boston Z6s sooner!

You were probably just too stoned to start your car.

Go smoke another one in your mom's basement, dude.

Uh... I don't smoke or do any drugs, and we don't have basements in Florida (well, most of Florida).
