Alternator issue

[FrostByte]

Well since may OEM alt gave me fits w/ throwing false codes when it was failing it was replaced with the top line, lifetime guarantee, Auto Zone Alt. BAH HUMBUG!

The AZ replacement lasted 6 months, 4 of those were in a garage for winter. That one failed last week. One of the alternator internal fan blades failed & messed up the internals. They were going to put it on their tester & I told them not to bother. Even if it did produce power it was FUBAR cause of the fan, so they refunded my $$$$.

Ordered a FORD reman & installed that today. No more aftermarket parts fo me. Ill pay tad more for the FORD part.

Hope im done with alternator issues.:smash:

I know what you mean, i'm going to be changing cam chain tensioners due to failure of the aftermarket ones. And they have almost no miles on them.

Good deal Frosty ... Tousley Ford sells the reman Ford Alt for a very good price ... FYI: I'm also on my second one this year!!

I got it down to 15 min, even having to remove a bitch idler wheel that uses bottom alt bolt.
