Good luck. Let us know how it goes. :)

thanks for the tip, im having the guys at the shop load test the battery and make sure its that, i know it is, but ya ill let everyone know.

bad wiring possibly? I dont even know if faulty wires will do that? You have a rough idle? Coil packs? something? lol

My 2000 GASE1 with the 3400 has 128,000 miles. Original alternator to my knowledge.

I guess they cranked out unkillable ones (like mine) and some problem childs like yours. Either way I love my GA.
