I installed a AC Delco Alternator last night. Everything seemed fine after the install. I'm driving the car today, and haven't had any issues yet. I'll have to see over the next few days what happens, Hopefully everything will be fine now. I'll keep everyone posted.

It's been 3 days after installing the new AC Delco alternator, and have had no issues at all as of yet. I have put almost 300 miles on the car since then including some hard miles, while crusing Saturday night.

Looks like I just got 2 bad alternators in a row from Autozone. Even though they both tested good at autozone.

If I do end up having any future issues I will up date this post.

******************** IMPORTANTANT ***********************

FOR ANYONE READING THIS POST IN THE FUTURE THAT IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THERE ELCTRICAL SYSTEM OR ALTERNATOR, DO NOT BUY ONE FROM AUTOZONE. NOT ONLY DID I HAVE 2 BAD ONES, BUT AFTER READING ALOT OF OTHER POST THAT SEEMS PRETTY COPMMON. SO IT IS WORTH IT TO SPEND THE ADDITIONL MONEY AND GET A AC DELCO ONE, OR ATLEAST TRY ONE FROM ANOTHER PARTS STORE.
