$330!!!! WTF!!!!!!
what is it made of fking GOLD!!!

should i just buy a new one or make a hibrid (reconstrucction)

sorry for the rant need to vent...

 

so fast!!!!! thats not cool. i have seen a mitsu alternator die so fast.

 

me neither i could ahve expected it to die maybe at 40k or at 50 at the most but 25?!!!
damm

 

could it be a side effect from the underdrive pulley?

 

Soon as I saw the topic, I thought that ...... I hope it's not because thats ****ing expensive........

 

I would of thought that it would of lasted longer too... i am wondering if it is due to it's location and the heat that comes from that area - I know mine gets very hot in that area

This is scarey. I am hearing a squeek from the belt area, that squeeks with the speed of the motor. I can tell that it is at exactly every rotation of the belt because of a small white mark on the belt goes by every time at the exact same spot. It sounds like it is from somewhere around the alternator.... hmmmmmm

 

havent bought it yet still deciding if i were to rebuild it or buy it new...

 

hope not...

 

Unlikely, unless it was a bearing that went out in the alternator.

 

Why would a bearing be affected by the UDP? The belt tensioner still keeps the belt tightened up the same. I fear that my noise is a bearing noise.

 

update

berings were fine the regulator of the alternator (according to the rebuilder) was fried now why on earth it got fried dont know... the car didnt charged the battery at idle but it charged the battery at high rpms so hopefully by friday ill have it fixed...

 

under the premise that the 'new' speed 'of' the belt might frie it ,highly unlikely but posible on some cases
