around i start to head home about 4 miles later the lights are dimming really bad
****!! so i get all the way to my exit also if i were to change lanes and use my
blinker my car would sputter like it was out of gas for a bout a second then be fine
after i turned it off ... so i then pull off the exit n there we go i can hear about only

Re: what do you think is wrong (ridiculous)
Alternator belt is the most likely candidate, although I wouldn't discount faulty installation completely. Recheck everything, especially the ground connection(s) and, if they're small and weak looking, don't be afraid to ground the alternator more than once.
