| I know i shouldn't be driving my car in the winter but i only have one car for now so the 240 starts and drives fine but i think i need a new battery alternator and something with power steering. my question is if im running a lot of accessories and lights start to dim and shit does it mean my alternator is messed up or the battery? b/c i thought the battery is supposed to make sure it doesn't surge like that..... i honestly don't fucking know I'm in the stage where i feel like i had to of messed something up driving it in bad conditions any input would help thanks. i have no subs or shit like that either. i can't wait until spring ughh. The thing with my power steering is that it squeaks when its really cold out but once i drive a block or two it wont squeak turning the wheel at all. I have no leaks at all. i just finished the damn car in September. I'm aggravated Come next winter im getting an awd newer car fuck this winter | |

| Yes, you need a new alt, mine does the same, im driving my winter beater so I don't have to worry about that till spring.
Also I heard using an alt from a nissan quest its better.
Anyone ever try this? I know you have to shave a little bit off of one of the brackets. | |
