I got one in the garage... Lemme know.

Have it rebult. It is much cheaper and will last just as long as any reman one you get at an auto parts store

 

[L-town]

Who rebuids?

 

[IBratmanI]

Well there is a guy near me, but the best bet is to ask at a local auto parts store. that's what I did

Mine never worked right after having him rebuild it, and he didn't believe me. YMMV.

Also any (EJ Subaru) alternator should work as long as it has the 2 pin connector (assuming yours uses the 2-pin connector)

Also, if you need one RIGHT NOW. Norm's has about a million used ones in stock.

And further more ... Even without an alternator you can still drive the car. Just charge up the battery and you can go for a long time if you have the headlights off. As I have proved ...

Who rebuilt yours? And what was the issue?

 

[subydoored]

[SUBARUDE]

Thanks guys apparently they didn't want to hear back from me and are having a garage install although and access belts for 400 whatev not outta my pocket

 

[Chris]

$400?! How much are they charging for labor?

It is like 3 bolts to get the alt out!!

 

[L-town]

160 alt, 60 for both belts then 3hrs labor plus tx

 

[Chris]

I don't mean to be giving anyone a hard time, but, THREE HOURS to replace an alt and 2 belts?!?!?!?

 

[SUBARUDE]

bendover here it comes again

 

[L-town]

Exactly what I said but its outta my hands now. The alpha male in the family makes the decission for my sibling who am I to suggest a cheaper alternative

 

[IBratmanI]

That should be illegal!! Seriously that should be addressed!! It literally takes 15 minutes to change the alt and both belts!!! I can see a shop rounding up, but that's insane. And 30 for each belt!!! Have some mark up!!

[SUBARUDE]

[Chris]
