I was washing the side of my camaro off, because of the birds lol, but to make a long story short, i had it running while i just did a quick rinse, and it just died, i was like what the f*ck, i went to start it back up, and it was acting as if the battery was dead, i charged the battery up and it turned over, but the battery was only 2 weeks old, now today, i went to start it, and it wont turn over or anything, i was thinking maybe it is the alternator? anyone else with sugestions? please help me out

i would get it to a shop...they should have a battery tester which will also do a load test...first they will charge the battery, until it will start, then they will hook the box to it, and turn on the AC, lights, so on..and see if the alternator kicks holds the bettery at a steady voltage...it sounds like a bad alt, to me.

i load tested it last night with my gf's dads load tester, and it was the alternator, it was only putting out 6amps when his van was puttin out 50-60amps

would a alternator from a 91 camaro work in a 95 camaro, mine is a 5.2L 350 and the 91 is a 3.1L

i would call a parts store...they will be able to tell you if the part numbers match up...if not, and youre hard up for cash, which i can sympathize, so long as it mounts up and the wiring is the same, you could try swapping if you already have the other alt. then run a load tester and see what it says..
