Description
Share on social networks:
Paid $1,214 out the door. Alternator... No experience with cars and don\u2019t feel comfortable installing myself. Based off local availability, I can\u2019t imagine an option I would\u2019ve been happier with. Of course it\u2019s overpriced, but I can justify the spend based off how seamless the experience was.
Pros: seamless experience
Cons: overpriced

Had the same issue a few months back. Put in a new alternator and it’s been perfect since.
Pros: perfect since

You need to try using a OEM REMAN or OEM NEW alternator. Aftermarket items can really affect BSD.
Pros: affects BSD
Cons: aftermarket items
