Default Alternators...

Hey guys,

I think that the regulator in my alternator may be beginning to play up, i notice headlight dimming and revs dropping when i turn on A/C or use power windows etc...

A few questions:

1. How much would the regulator cost to replace?

2. How much would the entire alternator cost to replace? I heard that it is quite an expensive alternator?

3. I am putting in a sound system in my car on Wednesday, would the alternator crap itself it i put in the optima D34 battery which i have?

4. Should i just put the battery in and see if that fixes the problem? Could it be the battery itself which causes this?

That's about it

thanks guys
