Alternator; 3800 Firebird...

[Rich97 W68]

Anyone know the part number for the POS alternator on our cars? I think mine is about to go out since the pulley is making this "my bearings are shot" noise.

Better yet...all I can find is a price that's quoted to be wholesale at $208 (ouch!).

Better still: anyone know if the 97-2000 GTP alternators are the same type, style and bolt pattern as ours? I have a lead on a $20 alternator from a GTP out of the box.

PLEASE let me know, as I'm scared that one day, especially a test day or a first day on a new job, I'll be stranded since my car can't crank.

Bah.

Oh, anyone know of a freakin' alternator for our crs that's worth a ****? This makes #4 to have gone bad in ~70K miles.

Ricardo :mad:

Ouch, I've got 117k mi on the car and no alt prob, even with a sound system. Damn, knock on wood :D
Hope you have better luck with the next one.

Looks like they're the same. First price is core, next is unit price. "LLT" = lifetime limited warranty. Your welcome :D

Try to see if you can get a replacement from autozone or somewhere for around $50-70.

Check Kragen, I thought they had them for about $100 plus core.

[lord_gufi]

make sure you give autozone ure core..., itsa 60$ core charge if you dont, you can always take ures back later and get ure 60$ back

[Gmtech1005]
