Before you do the alt replace though, I would suggest making sure all your battery cables at the chassis battery and the alternator are clean and tight; all ground cables as well; and that any other connectors on alternator are also in good condition and tightly connected. It might also be worth checking for computer codes on your OBD2 plug as I am not sure if PCMs these days also have some control over charging systems......it would not surprise me; but I am not sure either. Perhaps others with past V10 charging problems can comment as well?
