Last winter I drove out to almost Fox Creek sledding in the morning. Lights, heater etc on. No warning lights. Parked and sledded all day. Get back, hit the car starter while we loaded, lights dimmed, then truck died. Boosting kept it running. No lights in dash until it died. It was the alternator. Left truck over night, came back in the am with a brand new battery and got the truck home. When that battery died in the city, we knew it was the alternator. No dash warning lights either.
Can happen.
I would say the used alternator is no good or almost done.
