Alternators are EASY to replace. Even if you're not mechanical at all. On most cars/trucks it's usually two or three bolts at the most, and you just have to plug the wire harness back into the new one, and put the belt back on. Shouldn't cost you too much at Autozone or a place like that. (Napa has the best parts, but also the highest prices. True testament to you get what you pay for.) But you should be able to save yourself some money if you do it yourself. If you decide to do it, and you get stuck, feel free to contact me and I'll try to help you with it. For $20 I'll call the guy a CHICKENFUCKER!
