today it seems my alternator took a shit on me.. wouldn't be such a bad thing. if it wasn't recently replaced barely a month ago..

Its the same thing that happened last time..battery light pops on take it to autozone to find out wats wrong and find out it's the battery.. go get it replaxed and thr light is still on.. then they test the charging system..

I'm on my third battery in less than 6 months and about to be my third alternator in less than 4.. what the eff is going on here?

voltage regulator? are you going through lots of puddles? are you buying the cheapest alternator possible? theses could all be causes.

I honestly dont know jack shit.. Im just trying to find ideas that I could bring up with to my mechanic.. Since it was barely done a month ago it's still under warranty.. and before that last one was replaced the previous one was replaced 3 months prior to that.. so yeah.. fun stuff..

sounds like the car has a problem somewhere else. i would really look into that voltage regulator.
are you running a massive stereo? huge, rapid draws will kill an alternator pretty quickly
