    You can get online pricing at:

    www.autozone.com
    www.pepboys.com
    www.napaonline.com

    You should consider rebuilding the unit yourself.
    Check out:

    www.alternatorparts.com

    They have online rebuild guides.
    You can achieve anything for which you are prepared to pay the price.<br /> --ATTILA THE HUN

      you can also go to mr. alternator.com, too. i got my high output on there. but the best bet is to probably have it rebuilt. its cheap, and you can pump up the amperage a whole lot, too.

        I bought a new one installed from Pep Boys just recently. WAAAAAAAAYYY less than dealership prices. The Pontiac place wanted $300+, the Chevy wanted $400+!!!! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

          Bought mine from NAPA a year ago. They have new, not rebuilt like everyone else. The case is remanufactured, but all internal parts are brand new. It was $140 with a lifetime warranty. It's the last one you'll ever buy. If it ever brakes, you get a new one free [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] .

            Put a LS1 alternator in there... I promise it will be worth 10hp. [img]smile.gif[/img] j/k

            Just get one for autozone or Napa. Real easy to swap in/out. You know where all the tools are. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
