You can drive any speed nigth or day and I feel the motor losses power and the alt gauges goes from normal to 11.7 11.8 12.1 etc. Back up to 13.8 only last for 3to 5 seconds lights will dim then come back to normal it happens every day to every other day im thinking my alternator is sticking please help thank you

If its going that low while driving I would have ur alternator tested they do that for free at the auto parts store. Sounds like a bad alternator but better to have it checked to be sure. Also have the battery tested too. Let me know how it goes.
