WTB Alternator

<< < (2/2)

SHOwn:
Bearings going bad like the OP had happen should br more common on our cars since we run the belt tension high to stop the squealing due to the poor design. But my alternator showed no signs of trouble when I had it rebuilt, I just figured with about 120k on it, and the belt system apart why not rebuild it? Good thing I did. It did have a bad diode that really presented no noticeable symptoms.

WashiestSnake:
Here's something intresting, when I replaced my alternator I got a newer style Bosch Unit but the pulley was completely different. The old alternator would squel alot, but with this smaller pulley design I've never had it squee once, the only downside is I wasn't able to use the new thick Belt Russ made.

Rocketman:
The older style alternators didn't seem to suffer from the same pulley issues as the new ones. There's a misalignment between the pulleys that causes excessive wear/friction on the belt. This seems to be an issue with replacement/rebuilt alternators
