edit: READ FAQ's before post. Then ask if answer not found.

1) internetautomar, Advanced auto parts, dealership, junk yard
2) 30-50 used or around 160 new
3) Pretty easy install. I did mine in about 30 minutes with no previous knowledge. Some people can do it under 20. A shop will charge you about $70.
4) Depends what brand you choose. OE (Hitachi) or Aftermarket (Bosch, etc.)

 

Ok..thanks a lot!

 

if its not OEM, make sure it has a lifetime warranty

 

What's with everyone's alternator dying this week? This has been the 5th thread on this in the last week.

As for it taking 20-30 minutes, you got me beat by a couple of hours, still doable on a saturday morning.

Well my Hanes manual helped a little but mainly because I bought it used from a wrecked 89 around the block from my aunts house. I had the pulley and some new belts installed while I'm down there and now it was just adjust the alty and bolts and plug that sucker in.

 

Shouldnt take a couple of hours. All you have to do is remove the splash shield, three wires and three bolts. And there is nothing blocking you to make it hard.
