Need New Alternator, Where to Buy?

If you don't like doing it again refrain from remanufactured units. They come with a lifetime warranty for a reason. The reason is they let you replace them until you hit upon a good one.

alternators and A/C compressors are some of the few things i actually prefer a reman part on. its usually just the front case bearing or the regulator in an alternator that goes bad. really not worth the 300$ for a new one. heck i have been super cheap and spent the 20$ for the case bearing and 35$ for the regulator and put them in an old alternator myself. good to go for another 100k miles.

Bought a new one from STM and installed it. Getting that **** out was the hardest part. I had an alternator bracket that couldn't be removed. Nut holding it in place was under a pulley.
Just in case someone searches this:
- remove wheel
- remove belt using tensioner
- remove 2 nuts and 1 bolt from alternator
- unplug sensor from alternator
- remove nuts holding abs
- remove nuts from ps line
- remove nuts from ac line
- remove 2 bolts end of fuel rail remove that (brain fart can't remember what it's called)
- remove alternator bracket
- remove cam gear cover
- remove passenger motor mount bolt
- jack up passenger side of motor under oil pan using a piece of wood to displace the weight
- take out oil dip stick
- scrape up you knuckles cussing pulling and pushing things out of the way to get the alternator out
Thread that helped me https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...nator-top.html. I had to remove/move some additional items.
