my rodeo just died. It stared knocking in the engine and the just completely died. There is no power to i can't even crank it over, no lights and no horn. I just bought an alternator but want to be sure before i put it in. Do you have any ideas?

Have your battery charged and tested first and then see if it runs before changing anything. You may be a bit premature on the alternator idea.unless you know something you haven't told us.
