2001 Firebird Formula with 23K Miles... bad alternator already?
Hello, I bought a 2001 Firebird formula with 23,000 miles. Today the diodes seem to have gone bad. The car is still starting and running, but I hear a whine when im driving. The whine is pretty loud. The battery meter is usually around 13, but now it is 8 and stays 8. Is it usual for this to happen? The car supposibly has been sitting for a good 10 years.

I do not know how long the car has actually been sitting. I was told the car was only driven a tiny bit of the months. In 2002 the carfax shows the car with 11k miles - and that's the last record.
