alternator question
I just replaced the alternator today, but the battery still seems to be running low. Is this normal? Should I just let it sit for awhile, or hook up a charger to it? The battery is not even 3 weeks old.

When you mean the battery is running low, do you mean it has low voltage?
Is the alternator working? What ampage does it put out (there should be a stamp on the case of the alternator)? If everything above is check out OK, I would say it is probably the wire connected from the alternator output terminal to the battery is loose or disconnected somehow.
