Got the alternator on, and did all necessary testing. It works out fine, so we're back on getting everything back together. Can't get my nephew to do $h*t, he's too busy texting his fiancee. Go figure... kids these days. Also found out something that I didn't know till today. It's not a good idea to pull your battery cable off to see if your alternator is working. It could put a spike in it and burn the alternator up. So I guess the best way to do this is late in the evenings, turn your headlights on with the motor running, then turn the motor off, and if the headlights dim, you're alternator is charging. Another way would be to test with a volt meter. The voltage should read at approx 14 when the motor is off. When the motor is running, it should read slightly higher if the alternator is charging.
