Think alti is dead

Think I need a new alti. Is this going to be painful? I already changed the voltage regulator and car still won't hold steady voltage.

did you notice going out?

I've had battery issues both (fron and rear) couple of times in the past 3 years.

To me, my voltage regultor seems to be going bad, but the dealer keeps saying is the batteries.

I notice if I leave the car parked for 3 to 4 days, there is a delay at startup.

There's a reason for that. I don't buy anything electrical from autozone besides possibly a battery. Autozone alternators are doing great if they last you a year usually.

Well I dropped the car at an Indy repair shop cuz the stealership would not touch my car cuz I have aftermarket batteries and amps in the car even though I disconnected the amps. So the wait is on. My batteries are about 9 months old and both are better than the stock batteries. I also changed the volt regulator so that would leave he alti right?
