Replaced my alternator
Well, I just replaced my alternator... You're right- it's $275 for the part from the dealer. I wanted to keep the old alternator but he wanted $75 for it. As it was, it totalled out at $360 (part, labor and tax) I couldn't do another $75 on top of it. However, we came up with an idea for keeping crap out of the alternator, I'm gonna crawl underneath and take a look at it this weekend- in between AAL's and Bilsteins.

Yeah, you get screwed double. One with the dealers high part price, the second when you pay to have them do the install.

Actually the X alternator isn't all that easy to swap. I pulled mine while investigating my relocation project. It's kind of a bitch to put it back between holding the damn thing up while you try and line up the bolts and getting to the terminals on the top side with the wires that aren't long enough to reach down so you can work with the terminal facing you.
Actually, I don't think I ever actually fully pulled mine come to think of it. I could see what I needed to see and didn't feel like fussing with it any more. Brent

It wasn't supposed to cost that much. I have a friend who works at the shop where I got it worked on. He was gonna give me a break on labor. Unfortunately, one of the other mechanics did it, and billed me for the labor... However, we came up with an interesting idea for the alternator to keep crap out of it while wheeling- I'm going to look into it this weekend and see what we can do.

I would not be interested in replacing the alternator with a different one unless it is relocated. The stock location is WAY too vulnerable.
