How much should a rebuilt alternator cost me? Went south on me on the road 200 miles from home in upstate NY. I limped to a service station and the bandit wants to charge me $350 to install. I figure I can get one and put it in myself, I have tools with me. I have a 97 4wd and it has that bracket on the back. By the way 95,000 I guess it was time. Should have done it when I did my belt tensioner.:banghead:

New alternator about $155 + core charge. Rebuilt about the $140. Fairly easy to install, should take about 35-50 minutes if you have the tools and adequate light. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I bought a remanufactured alternator at Murrays Auto last year with a LIFETIME WAR for 99 bucks (WITH CORE), and 20 min to swap them out...

If you have done it before, it only take 20 minutes tops.

Yip, go get it and install it yourself, he is gouging you.
