Ok.. so I bought a optima R34 battery after thinking that i could not get my car started after it sat for a while. Plus the battery was 4 yrs old so i figured it was time for a new one. Well I started my car to warm it up and about 10 mins later I returned to the car to discover it had shut and that the A/C was still running but the engine was off. So now I have come to a cross road since it has to be the alternator and not the battery as i suspected it to be orginally .... So anyone have a DIY with pictures to replace the alternator. I bought a reman-bosch one but i need some tips on install....
