As many alternators as we have seen fail in the last few months, I willing to be you'll soon be replacing one yourself. How are you measuring you voltage?

I took it to a auto eletric shop and they told me to bring it in tomorrow because either the rotor or brushing is about to go out.Said they could repair it pretty cheap,have to have some new wiring and plug installed for the trailer by them anyway so they will be repairing it at the same time.
