If your alternator was pooched you wouldnt be able to drive from Van to Coq on a dead battery. So Id be inclined to think battery or connection. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN YOUR ENGINE AND DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY TO SEE IF THE ALTERNATOR IS FINE. That will fuck up a good alternator in a hurry leading you to think you need an alternator when you more often then not didnt.
