Default Stranded In North Carolina

Ok so i JUST put a new Alternator on my car and im sure that everything was right. The car ran perfect and had between 13-15 volts at all times. And i left yesterday from ohio and it had no problems driving 600 Miles but now i dont have **** and the car doesnt have enough juice to start and my car sits to low for me to be able to get under it and see what the hell is going on lol and i also took the spare tire and all that **** out. SO would a parts store loan me a jack and the tools or what? Cause i am going to have to walk to the parts store. Also if anyone is in mooresville NC let me know haha cause i could maybe use your help if i cant get things firgured out!

You're in the right NC town to be broken down in.

Where specifically is the car at?

If it stays on then i'd say your battery. if it cuts off then its your alt.

if the car starts and your volt gauge is only showing 7 or 8 volts. then its almost got to be a problem with your alt. if there is an autozone near you and they give you any problems PM me and i'll do everything i can to take care/fix it.

Yeah the wire is fine! everything is tight and the grounds are all good. And yeah the car wont stay running for very long. If i just had a way to get under the car and make sure of everything that would be awesome! But nothing ever works out lol.
