Hey guys
I have a nations alternator, no issues during my ownership this far
Driving today, car began to stumble a bit with any throttle input. I’m not 100% certain but do not recall seeing any dash lights on
Also heard the external fuel pump RPMs begin to fluctuate at part/constant throttle
Gauges then all swept dead, barely made it home but it died trying to pull into my droveway
Battery is in the trunk, big gauge cables/grounds everywhere
Battery voltage across the terminals was 11.7…..swapped in a spare battery and car fired right up and drove into the garage
Nothing looks odd under the hood - belt still on with good tension, no loose wires etc. Never had an alternator issue on this car before and wondering if any quick diagnostic tips/tricks suggested before pulling it out to get bench tested.
Any other thoughts aside from alternator that could potentially cause these issues?
Thanks guys
Phil
