I had the batteries run flat when a door wasn't shut all the way by my kid and it wasn't topping the batteries back off after running it. So I assumed it was the alternator and went ahead and ordered one but I was able to fix it via tensioning the belts on the old alternator and bracket (was reading 13.5-13.7) after that and was fine. I didn't inspect the bracket well and possibly it was showing signs of issues but it tensioned the belts and everything was working so I thought it was good but had already ordered the spare alternator and decided to keep it as such which I am very glad I did!Good on you for getting it field fixed!
What was the reason for the pre-purchase of the alternator? It seemed like you were working through AC items before this? Or did you just want a spare?
The AC was the issue prior which was just a squeaky bearing on the AC clutch.
Thanks!
