natallica Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Anyone know of a good deal for a stock replacement/ With little or no add-ons (all-stock). Mine just went out and left me sit about 5 miles from my house.Should I have it rebuilt or buy new? Advice is always welcomed! -N8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 http://www.car-part.com/ Search for a 1990 Hyundai Sonata, 2.4L. Right alternator, wrong pulley (serpentine belt style instead of V-belt like the 'quest). Anybody with an impact wrench can swap the pulley--I brought in my old alternator and the guys at the yard did it for free. I was back in business the same day. Good luck!

QuestFan Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) You could go to the scrap yard and look for this: "The Hyundai Elantra 100 amp alt is a plug and play... even uses the same plug. The only thing you need to do is drill the lower mounting bolt hole one step larger." http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=124611&hl=alternator&fromsearch=1 Edited December 4, 2011 by QuestFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 If you don't need more amps, you should take yours to your local rebuilder. If yours is the OEM alternator, then the parts in it are better than any aftermarket store bought one, and can be rebuilt for higher quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted77. Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Get this: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/2005-Dodge-Neon/Alternator/_/N-jmnnuZ9ci9i 150 amp, lifetime warranty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Get this: http://www.autozone...._/N-jmnnuZ9ci9i 150 amp, lifetime warranty..I'm sure yours is doing fine, but if the battery ever goes dead, and that alternator is in there, it will blow the charge wire fuse link unless it is upgraded too. Then you still have a 150 Amp unit that won't stay cool if running over 90 or so. It will burn up. Plus, you still need to swap your pulley on it, and be sure to save the other one for when you need to return that one after it goes out. Lifetime warranties are almost always junk that needs replaced more often than one built by a reputable shop. Didn'tlast is what you get instead.If you don't need the extra amps, don't upgrade higher like that unless you upgrade the charge wire fuse link, and also pick a case style that will dissapate the heat well enough to not burn up if the demand means actually using the higher amps.

Agreed. I have had one of their Alternators installed since April 2010. Works great, and installation was a piece of cake Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
