NEW CAR.... But it has a problem

[CamryRacer]

ok i got a 87.5 supra turbo and it starts and drives good... but it seems like it has a bad alternator cuz if i drive it too long it starts flashing the lights on the dash and then normally it will die after like 30seconds but i can jump start it and it will run for like 3 miles and then it will die again

Replace the brushes in the alternator.

i got a alternator from checker (reman.) and it is still doing the same thing... but i am charging the car now and i am going to drive it over there and get them to test it in the car... but i am still hoping that is going to be the problem and i got a bad alternator off the shelf...
