go to autozone or advanced, and buy one that has a lifetime warranty, then you won't ever have to buy another one. The whistling is not that uncommon.

Its always good to call around and check a few places. That is an expensive alternator. Is that a remanufactured or brand new price?

ask "does that include any core charge?" If the answer is "yes" then follow-up with "how much is the core charge?" because you can return the old one and get that money back. $200 sounds somewhat high.

 

[lvmustanggt]

$233.49 with no core but if I return my old alternator then they will return $32.00

well thats a "core charge"

just a side note guys, dont get caught-up in all that hype @ "lifetime warranty's" from cheap "parts store" adds, what good is a lifetime warranty if YOU have to replace it each year its a gimmick, all it does is get you back into the store so you can spend more money on bs, like air freshners, door edge guards, mud flaps and other crap. why do you think they put the "parts counter" at the back of the stores? so you have to walk down the aisle and buy stuff before you get to the counter.

spend a little more and buy OEM and Im not just saying that because I sell Ford parts as an example, a re-man Ford alt for a SOHC Mustang is $224.00 retail and $168.00 wholesale wth a $60.00 core charge

I put FOUR Duralast Gold alts in my Honda, one every six months or so until I got tired of warranty replacements that only lasted six months.

Finally I got a HONDA alt and its has been fine ever since.

Do not buy refurbished alts

Too much bling is that even possible? It's rated at 150 amps not sure of make picked it up from a local shop for $160 or $170 I can't recall. He does sell on eBay under the name a1truck. For an unpolished alt it would have been about $50 less contact him and he'll hook you up.
