Default Anyone get a new Alt ?

Has anyone had to get a new alt ? Where did you get it from and how much did it cost ? Did it really solve your low voltage problem ?

That's almost more than my stereo is worth ! :D

Hopefully someone makes something cheaper or I am just going to have to keep the volume down. :lol:

Thanks Metalwulf !

I have another question, cause I see an alt replacement as a last step. Would going from my current battery(Everstart Maxx 900cca's), which is brand new, to an Optima Yellow Top or some other deep cycle battery, help with my dimming ?
