I have my engine out and removed my alternator to replace the wiring harness. The alternator works fine, but it will never be easier to replace it than right now.
What would you do? |

I would wait for it to fail. The quality of rebuilds can be hit or miss and you may find yourself replacing it sooner than if you had kept the old one.

with this car, I constantly flip back and forth between "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and "while I'm in there..."
Think i'll leave this one alone. thanks guys Rich |
