Alternator question

Post by chris83 »

Is it doable yourself? any tricks I need to know about?....mine is toast... need to get my rpm's above 2500 in order for the charge light to go off haha.. damn stereo :(


Canadian tire wants 318$ for one..with a 90$ refund with your old altenator, is that a good price? or is there better prices?

Alt is easy to replace.. Just takes alittle time.. I removed the radiator & fans and it came out easy. :shrug:
