Agreed. Test it, then change it now before you are left stranded!

My 03 did strand me after it ran down battery for 25 miles, no lights or warnings.
Triple A saved the day. My 08, I got the lights and wasn't stranded.
Both alt's were bad and changed.

Voltage regulator failed, reading at 11. Looks like I’m getting a new alternator.
