How do you know when ur alternator is going bad?
#2
Take it to a couple of places that offer free testing. Also, check to see if your VIN is listed on recall for bad alternators (96s and early 97 ?) Another possible problem that I fixed, was a corroded ground wire under the battery pan. Found it when I installed the CAI.

I have a volt guage and when I started the car early morning, its at 14.5 when I drive for alittle with the bass on my 12s up it drops to 13.5 or 13.0
Every now and then the lights may dim and the need on the volt guage moves back and forth.

'97 and '98 models manufactured b/w Feb. '97 to Feb. '98 are affected by the recall, so you might want to check your manufacture date on your driver door jamb
