Well the best way to tell the condition of the alternator is to put a volt meter across your battery terminals. you should have about 12volts at your battery with the engine off. This should go up to about 13.8 volts with the engine running.

while you're looking at the reg check the wire that goes from the battery to it - it's a big chubba and I know in the VS's they perish and melt but of course they were ecotechs and I'm not too sure if the buick's had the same prob?
