What year is your car? I have yet to have a delco alt go beyond four years. This includes a 88 grand am, 91 grand prix, 98 accord coupe, and my 97 grand am. My sister and parents have had the same thing. Three to fours years seem to be max on these. My ford was eight years old and over 200 thousand miles with the original alt. When they start to go you will see some funky things happening. My accord had a computerized transmission so it would start to slip. My radio would seem to go loud and low as I sat. The lights dimming seemed to be the last thing.
