              yep maybe slipping belt in which was my problem so i bought a new belt and it was a quik fix instead of replacing my alternator and putting a bad belt back on.

                what i meant is people on this forum told me to change belt but i was stubborn and i changed alternator and put on old belt and it did the same thing. i froze that night changing out a good alternator. i cursed myself for days about it also.
