Yes exact thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. You need a new alternator. Don't drive any more it's probably close to gone.

 

thank you ,quick reply ,top man

 

went to take alternator off this morning and found that the plastic idle pullie had fell to pieces ,so put another one on took it for a run seem ok then a squeel started and a little heavy on power steering ,also the alternator was a bit noisey so will have to get another one

 

It looks like a zj or dodge dakota 2.5 alternator might fit and give you more juice.

Sounds like your belt is loose. Did you tighten back it all the way?
