I've gone through about 3 alternators on my Chevy truck, and my symptoms were the classic ones I had always heard about...lights dimming while driving, volt meter reading way too low, etc.
Unfortunately one started going out when I was about 30 miles away from home...and by the time I got home, the sucker was making a nice racket and putting off some serious heat...came really close to seizing the alt up.
