3G alternator

[-=Red5.0GT=-]

Well i finally installed my e-fan and pullys (crank & pump) this weekend and i now think i'm going go upgrade the alternator. I called the local pep boys and they want 200 bucks for a new 130 amp alternator, does that sound like a good price? Are there any sites online that have better deals?

If you have an autozone or advance near you I'd go there. I got mine for about $160 and they took my '89 stocker as a core so it knocked it down to $110.

Parts stores should have 3g's cheaper then that, 120-140ish. Just ask for a 94. But they may be remanufactured, with a lifetime warrenty which wouldn't be too bad. If you are looking for new and are with the $200 price tag I highly recommend www.pa-performace.com. You can pretty much get evertything there, and the starter is brand new. Thats where I got mine from, almost 4 years ago still running strong.

You will need to get the strator plug from somewhere. Junkyard or from pa-performance. Clicky

FWIW, I just ordered (today) a 160 amp 3G unit for $135 from Alterstart. I will post how it works.

I have a thread on this page (my thread is two pages thanks to all the great replies). It weighed parts store vs new online alternators.

Good luck.
