In this episode I replaced the alternator in my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD. I had the voltmeter reading low and the lights flickering when running the vehicle and the battery is new. This gave me the clue the alternator was on it's way out.

No, I didn't test it because I felt it was pretty obvious what the issue was. If you've never done this sort of diagnostic before I would recommend having the alternator tested before replacing it just to make sure you're not spending money you don't need to.

This job cost about $200 for the new alternator and I did get the lifetime warranty so I'll never pay for it again...I hope. Other than that all I needed were a few basic tools and some time to do the job.

Tools:
15mm wrench and sockets
10mm wrench and sockets
small rubber tipped mallet
pry bar
