Alternator Question

If I have a bad alternator...recently discovered, about how long will it last? And how will I know FOR SURE if it is the alternator? Its a 2000 Ford F-150 (original battery), reg cab, LWB.

What makes you think it's bad?

If you have a bad alternator, it will last until a month ago. If you have a meter, you can know immediately whether it's bad. If not, go somewhere and have it checked and repaired accordingly. Maybe you could replace the battery yourself. A new battery may solve your problem, whatever it is that you are not telling us.
