I noticed last nite as I was driving that my amps gauge was in the red. I kept driving and it was only going down and not up..in other words my battery wasnt charging anymore. It started getting really close to "0amps" so I just pulled over parked my car and called my brother to come and give me cables. The battery charged up really quickly so I knew it wasnt the battery. Im going to go check my alt. right now at the parts store to make sure thats what it is before I buy one :( Its like $87..what a waste.

Heh, very common problem. Mine went out recently and my friend with a 96 is on like his 3rd. I got a NAPA one, hopefully it will be better than the autozone ones hes been using.<b>Matt</b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=1\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro Z28 M6</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=3\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro M5</a>

This comes as a suprise to me, I thought the 3.4's were the ones to eat the alternator's and the 3.8's were good? oh well learn something new every day.~chris~ 98 Cayenne red Camaro 3800 A4, 3:08, T tops Borla cat-back, wisper lid K&N, Bilstine shocks, Dunlops all around. <br />AOL IM: chevyboyz24

by ssms5411Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...1 week ago
