Well then what are you waiting for, get a new alternator. Also if you think that it's the alt. take it to autozone and have them test that also.

sounds like an alternator to me... and if your gonna replace it mine as well do the 3G upgrade or buy a powerhouse one or something like that.

sounds like either the alt or a bad wire. you might want to inspect the main wires going to the solenoid for burns or breaks and with a multi meter for continuity before buying a new alt. Especially if they told you it was good.
