5th Gen PowerLoss??
Once Again.
Whats up, people?
I recently noticed that I've been having low power outputs... which are very noticable at night.
For example:
The other night I was double parked waiting for parking when I noticed my headlights weren't putting out as much light as they normally do, my gauge lights were very dimmer than usual, and my window wipers were moving back and forth very slow on high speed.
When I started driving and hit the gas everything seemed to charge, the lights seemed to shine brighter, my gauges were brighter and my wipers were wiping fast.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Is it my Battery? Alternator? or Ground Wires?

Is replacing an alternator something I can do myself or should I get it professionally done?
I checked a couple of prices online.
I seen different amp numbers for alternators, whats the stock alternator amp number?
