ok so yesterday my jeep wouldnt start. jumped it and drove it around to charge the battery back up and let it sit running for 2 hours. shut it off and battery had no charge... took battery and alternator out of the heap i mean jeep and had them tested was the alternator as i assumed since the battery is less than 6 months old. bought an new alternator (2001 dodge durango 160 amp) and installed it jeep atarted right up drove it around a bit. brought it home went out to eat brought it home then had to go rescue my sister because she locked my dads keys in his truck. did that and went to start the jeep and...nothing... tried again and nothing. got jumpoed and drove right back to autozone and they tested it and it was bad. so figured i just got a bad alternator. well new ones in and jeeps sitting and running but doesnt seem to be getting any more juice the light are still flickering and the dash is at 14 but when i drive it it moves past 14 sloightly then jumps to 18/19 or whatever the max is and the check guage light comes on. that i figured was normal. it happened when i got a new battery while i was driving to charge it up so i ignored it this time. what could be causeing this to happen? if this alternator endss up bad again what the hell is causing my jeep to kill them???
