Damn! My 30 month-old Optimum Yellow Top battery died on Monday. Replaced it at Costco ($169 vs $199 at Pep Boys). Last night, stopped at a light, I noticed my headlights flickering. I'm guessing it is the alternator and I should not have just assumed it was the battery. Sound correct? Where are the good deals on alternators? Joe
I have a couple of used ones here for $125 if you want
Is your Tach jumping around?
Take it over to Advanced or someone like that they will check it for free
Did you buy another Optima??
Tach is not jumping around. Just the lights are flickering very (not too much, just a little so that it is noticeable).
Yea, I bought the Optimum at Costco since I though it was bad.
Who/where is Advanced? Where are you located? I am in Central Jersey near Flemington.
Thanks, Joe
I think autozone checks those things too.
Thanks Frank, I'll get it checked today.
