I guess I can get it tested.  The alt was rebuilt last year though, not a
parts store reman, I had the original alt rebuilt by a reputable shop.
However, these aren't the same symptoms I had when it went out the first
time either.  It's not always swinging, just intermittantly, otherwise it
acts completely normal.   I really hope it's not the alternator...
