It won't start. It turns over but barely cranks. Before when I put the new alt on it would die when I would stop. Then my lights got dimmer and dimmer and it just died completely. It would start back up after a few mins but it would doe again. Nowe it's completely dead with a good battery and alternator. I had them both tested more than once and different places
