Re: re-new alternator & need to clear codes?

unless the SES light is on you won't need to clear any codes.

How much was the duralast alternator?

I bought one a while ago for the GTP from o'reilley's. They were the only local company to offer a lifetime warrenty on thier alternators. So I went with it.

One thing to do though is install a battery charger on a slow 10A charge while you replace your alternator. This should keep your new alternator from going into full field right away and burning out.
