Ohk, I was driven today and my car just stalled out on me. Usually there's a whirlin noise and I kno that the cars overheatin., but today there was nothing. I replaced the whole cooling system, t stat, res cap, radiator and I jus put in a new water pump. When the car stalled out, the battery like came on and everything got pressurized. The brakes was hard to pump and the steering was stiff. I do have a low battery though. Ill get it recharge tomorrow until I can get a new one. Could it the battery? I am lost here. Any idea's.

It could the rear o2 sensor,fuel pump...I dunno, um lost here.

Well if it started back up, I wouldn't think it would be the Alternator. Were you at a stop, driving 30 MPH, or starting to take off? You can have your Batt and Alt tested at Autozone or Checker for free.
Does your Batt light stay on?

Can't be the alternator. I'd just put in a new one a month or two ago. Autozone recharges batteries for free. Ill do that tomorrow b4 work.

If you have a bad battery I wouldn't bother with recharging it, as it will just do it again since it has probably been drained.
Besides, it just makes your Alt work that much harder. And as I am sure you are aware, these Alt's suck.
And when was the last time you cleaned your Battery connections?

Never, I stay disconnecting the battery though for mine sounds. I was told my amp was a battery sucker (audiobahn 800ct) I got a capacitor though, I wouldn't think it stil drain it tho.

I have a 600 Watt Xplode Amp, and two Xplode 12's. I have had them for like 3 months and my alt is about 6 months old (Reman. AC Delco, Batt about a year old) I don't have any problems as of yet. Although I don't know how big yours (Amp) is, you may want to think about a Optima High Output Batt.
I would also DEFINITLY clean the Batt connections, as it could be the problem.
