If your car's voltage output sporadically drops into the 12.4 range (you can monitor the voltage using a LCD cigarette light socket plug in voltage display), don't be in a hurry to replace the alternator; it may be your alternator pulley. Most late model cars now have overrunning clutched alternator pulleys that engages the alternator shaft and can only turn in one direction ... like a a old fashion single speed bicycle. As you slow down and your engine's rpm's drop, the pulley will disengage from alternator and will "free wheel" for a few seconds until the the clutch re-engages. The overrunning alternator decouple is a wear item and should be considered for replacement as part of preventative maintenance at or around 100,000 miles. Rebuilt alternators with OAD's tend to been more expensive that non OAD's. New replacement OAD pulleys are relatively inexpensive when compared to a replacement alternator.
