reman is about 120 with a good core. which one needs the alt?

 

The 355 needs it. I swapped batteries from the other one and it started right up. It just drained it eventually until it died and had no juice left.

 

can you swap the one from the 93 for now? i dont know if they are the same or not...

edit, looks like autozone shows the same part number for 93 and 94... worth a shot until you can buy a new one!

 

have the broken one rebuilt, that is by far the cheapest way to go. poke around the classifieds as well. if you go on ls1tech, a guy JasonShort will definitely have a couple kickin around. very easy guy to deal with as well, tell him i sent ya.

 

I am seeing that my best bet is advance auto parts its around $120

 

Jeez man send me your old one I can rebuild it !

 

how much $$$??? I've never done it before...

 

I think i got the one on my car at AZ like 4 or 5 years ago for ~ $130. It's got kind of a cool looking shield on it too. i replaced it due to what i thought was a charging problem and since the battery was new i figured it couldn't be the battery, i was wrong. lol. A few years later when i finally replaced the battery the "if it sits for more than 3-4 days its dead" problem went away.

Looks like AZ has them now for $134.99 new or $119.99 for a reman with a lifetime warrenty on the new one and 1 year on the reman

 

Hey BLK95TA, did the alternator come with that finish and color or did you get it powdercoated? It looks awesome. I assuming you painted it...

 

i didn't do a thing to it. what you see is what you get.

its mainly the sheld thats shiny. here's a pic from a different angle (the intake isn't painted in this pic because it was taken a few months before the intake gasket was replaced and the intake painted)

 

nice it looks really good. my alternator is so ugly...check it out...

Depends on what failed and what needs to be replaced but ussually no more than 30-40 dollars!

 

I dont have paypal and wont get it because it would get me in trouble. haha, so how would I pay you?

Could I send it to you, you fix it, send it back, i put it on the car to see if it works, then pay you with a check in the mail?

 

BLK, I've seen your alternator in person. It looks nice. So that was from autozone, aye?

 

IIRC yes. An autozone in Glendale, AZ. It was probably a reman since apparently the ones AZ sells are remans and the premium reman which i think i got came with a Lifetime warranty. what i said above about reman vs new i actually misread and its reman vs premium reman. either way its been in there for ~ 4 years w/o a problem.

 

I'd like to get a new one and have it powdercoated either the color of my car or chrome

 

Hey man .. I PM'd ya !

Just came back from Autozone and Kragen, none of their alternators look as good as yours BLK95TA. The shields on all of them are black and the pulley is gold. I might just get mine powdercoated. Not sure how much that costs though.

 

LOL that would go with my black and gold theme :lol: j/k

i got that alternator like 4 years ago so i'm sure they've changed suppliers by now.

 

$broke$ w/ broke car? if u just want it 2 run... call ur local salvage, mayb u'll get lucky.

 

PPS powdercoat's alternators for $45
