That seems kinda high. The parts kit for these Alt. is only 20-30 dollars. I had mine rebuilt for $50. at a shop new bearings, brushes, and regulator.

Why not just rebuild the old one for under $100. Or rebuild it your self for under $50

Also please do not list current auctions in your posts. Against the site rules.

You can reword your post to say..."Has any one use xzy company that sells alternators on FleaBay"

Yep. Replaced my alts about a month ago. I would say don't buy from ebay. You can get the same thing from their website. Just google "rare electrical." The reason I bought mine was because 1. My CUCV is my DD and 2. The closest place that I felt comfortable with rebuilding them wanted something like $185 per anyways. I played with the idea of rebuilding them myself, as I have the repair manual for the same year civvy Chevy truck (complete with instructions for rebuilding alternators) but basically received information from here that "it's similair, but there are a few key differences that could cause a fireworks show if you screw it up" with no further info on what those key differences were. So I bit the bullet, bought 2 new alts from Rare electrical and dropped them in the truck with new belts. Did it in the parking lot with basic hand tools and it took me of all 2 or 3 hours. Truck started right up and voltmeter has held in the green since then. I say if you want to rebuild them, check the TM and see if there aren't instructions in there. I'm bout ready to buy a printer and print the entire thing off since I'm getting tired of scrolling through pages online.

Can't even mention evil bay auction on here, this place has more rules than school did. Or i guess i just need to study all the rules, i would need a case of beer for that job. Just shows that i need to live and learn, but i am trying hard.

Not that you can't mention the auction, you just can't post the link to ANY current auction, Fleabay or otherwise.

When you signed up for this website, you agreed to these rules. Nothing new. The link is at the top of the page.

This website is NOT like all the other websites. The "rules" are different. The owners are just trying to avoid some possible issues.


82ABNMP - Thanks for editing your post. I haven't used this company but they look like they have a quality product. The price is reasonable for a new unit.

I bought 2 from them a couple of months ago, so far so good. Price seemed reasonable since I couldn't find time to rebuld the ones I had, no core requirement so I now have 2 "spares" that as time allows I will rebuild and mothball until needed.

On a ralated sidenote, I purchased one of their starters 2 weeks ago and it has survived 40+ starts so far...Seems to be and looks to be good quality.

Thanks for the replies. I have no problem following the site rules I just forgot and posted the link.

I like the easy route and will just buy the rebuilt/new parts and stick them on rather than spending time rebuilding them myself.

Just don't throw away the old units. Some of us like to rebuild them.
