Again it has nothing to do with my problem. I was just wondering if he got not fixed and what fixed it. He stated that he would come back and tell everyone if he got it fixed. He didnt do that. I was wondering if it was because he didn't fix it or if he did what did he do.

HELP! i have a question
Whats up man i have a 2003 maxima an just replaced my alternator about a day ago an its starting to make a whistling noise an i noticed when i put my lights or heat/AC it gets a lil louder,is this normal?should it be fine?
My max just recently started making the "whining" noise everytime its started...i can hear it for sure and i can that its not the same sound it used to be. My car is at 102k, runs perfectly fine...Could it be the alternator giving up? How about the belts? Does it need some sort of quick tuneup (oiling up the belts, or anything else thats needed)? It's really cold
here in MA, so you can hear it quite noticeably.

i had my last napa alty for 5 years, when it died, just took back the core and got another, free! why buy oem when the difference is almost nill? i mean as old as our cars are getting to be, is it really worth it? die hard max op like cs ar who does a total rebuild that makes sense. no loss of power from a napa at all.

Hitachi is the manufacturer of the alternator used on the 4th gen Maximas. It is no longer manufactured. Rock Auto (and everyone else) does not have a brand new OEM alternator for the Maxima. The Hitachi alternator on Rock Auto is labeled as remanufactured.
If you buy an alternator or starter through Nissan, the part number will have the letter R on the end of the part number, which means remanufactured.

and as i stated before, our cars are old so nissan doesn't make new everything for them anymore. we are so lucky that we can still buy so many oem parts, my 07 sonata is only 10 years old and already i can't get a ton of accessory's and they stopped making a lot of oem parts for it years ago. my dad says to me, " when are you going to get rid of the maxima? of course anyone who has owned one of these knows the answer, never!!!!
