Well Jose... your post is just about as useless as one can make one.

Why don't you start with what car you have and any modifications that have done to the car...And follow that with what problem you think you have (for example if you think you are having an alternator problem... why??? Is it low voltage, is it a dead battery, is it that little pink monkeys are flying out of the battery caps???)

Yep, I had 2 fail on my wife's Geo Metro. And it was a bitch to change out, too. I still have a scar from it, and it was 4 years ago.
