Check the battery first ... use one of those trickle chargers overnight and see what you get ... a good one fully charged should see almost 13v ... personally I'd stay away from a junkyard alt ... there's a lot of time and effort that goes into replacing an alternator and IMO it only makes sense to put a new or reman unit in there, even if you do get a warranty with the junker
i'm gunna x2 this, but I had one put in by the dealership. It was a 'few' hundred dollars to do...
