Alternator having to replace. There is a ticking sound that has been going on and the alternator goes out. I have replaced this part twice and each time before it goes out it starts to tick. Also have a brand new battery installed and it is dead again! Each time the alternator goes out it kills my battery. 2008 dodge Durango.
