voltage issues, alternator possibly dead?

[dmw319]

ok so my voltage was low (actually the voltage was higher with my car OFF, weird) and a few days ago and i recharged the battery, then everything was fine, volts were fine, etc. and it was reading 14.3 with my car on... now it reads 13.3 and it keeps going down from the looks of it. sounds like my alternator is dying? its only a few months old http://forum.camarov6.com/images/smilies/frown.gif any ideas!?

my altenator just went bad, and I was using for at least a month and a half with it putting out 4.9 amps (should have been 105).

Do the autozone thing(have them test it). I did; and then I bought a new one at O'reilly's.(Auto Zone did not have one)

I did alot of running around of places that said they had one, and O'reilly's ended up being the cheapest.
