Yay more problems lol so over the last couple days my car has been whining when turning the vehicle and I just assumed it was because the weather has been colder lately so I did not think anything of it, on my way down to the store today my check gauges light came on and I notice my battery voltage indicator was wicked low, so I go down to autozone and they check my battery and alternator and turns out my alternator is not really working anymore so joy then as I was leaving it started whining again so I had turned out I had a small leak in the power steering line coming of the reservoir, so I fix that but now I am really low on fluid so my question is do you guys recommend a certain brand of power steering fluid and would replacing the OM alternator be sufficient or is there an aftermarket alternator that would be better?

and another question, do I have to specifically get a 98 alternator because of the ECM issues or can I just get any 98 till 02?

Yea replacement is pretty simple, I've replaced more than a few GM v8 alternators lol... just sucks being on a tight budget since I haven't been able to work since this damn motorcycle wreck... oh well, that's life

yeah 3 days after I move to Alabama I got in a wreck and broke my wrist in like 6 different places and had 6 rods drilled into my arm, I just got them removed last week so I'm barely even starting physical therapy to begin to be able to use my hand again lol

There are a few of them around here... not a whole lot. I mainly used my car for drag racing before, so I never went larger than a 17" wheel, so that's why I was not really into them at first. Gonna kinda suck to go back to having to change tires at the track.
