Thinking of getting it off rockauto.com. I need one that can last under heavy loads, i can full diode, volt reg and brush rebult for about $105 at a local shop. Not a bad deal at all... But if i can get a new one for lik $50 more im down for that just cause there is a good chance it will last longer. I feel bad cause i wanna support a local business and they seem like nice guys but it is almost more then half the cost of a new or rebuilt one.

So give me some reilble ones that are inexpensive. I wanna really get a HO alt(audio guys like me chime in) but im set on spending $500 bones on one, i only got a 1500w system and 3 batteries and really dont go to competitions at all so i dont see the need for one.

Also with 3 batties yes i know the alt is gonna be under a heavy load but my big 3 is done so i dont think it matters.

 

Hey also make sure that your maxima doesn't have the recalled alternator problem. After spending $800 with the dealer 2 months ago (they didn't even fix my damn electrical problem), I did get a new alternator under recall from nissan. Even though my old alternator was working just fine.

 

Damn dude what the hell do you need 3 batteries for?? talk about carrying extra weight around

 

meh its only 20 lbs. lol U should see how heavy my box is. lol.

 

i am sure Nissan prob won't warrant my car(at least my dealership won't They are cheep Dbags). Its old and they don't care anymore. Plus my miles are wayyy up there.

 

With my I30 I called Infiniti directly and just skipped over the local dealerships. They just needed my VIN to know about the alternator recall.

 

I had a squeaky belt from the alternator and was just going to change the brushings. They were machine pressed though and I could not get them apart. Just had to get a new one.
