yes i suggest replacing the alternator and the belt at the same time.... to reassure you, you can always have the old one tested at the store when you bring it in just for peace of mind....good luck :)

The easiest way to know if it's your alternator is start the car and with it running remove the positive battery cable if it dies you need a new alternator! if not than it's fine.
