    Take it to Advance or Autozone or O'Reilly and they will be glad to test it for you. Don't know of a way to test it in the yard.

    all u need is the alternator, and regulator plug. just cut the wiring and leave enough to splice into. like Earl said, take it to your favorite parts house and they'll test it for free. check the tech articles section for the wiring and write-up

    Easy install, just get the MEGA fuse and holder as described in the writeup. I used a 125A, charges great and installed straightforward. You could even get one from the taurus and trim the top lug, still works fine.
