Grrrr....Just got an estimate to replace my alternator with a rebuilt Bosch unit, $577 installed and complete....Don't have time to fix it myself, and really don't know what's involved. I thought it sounded steep, but i could be way off base. Sound reasonable? Opinions from the Captin?

Charge your battery fully.
Purchase and bring the alternator with you. Drive the car to Riverside on a Sunday to Slits Asshole Garage & Polygamy Learning Center. I will change it for you for the cost of a 12 pack of Hanger 24 Amarillo Ale, a 750 ml bottle Tanquery Gin, 1 L of Tonic Water , a pack of Johnsonville Brats and buns. But, before you purchase the alternator, get a VOM (volt ohm meter). Check the battery voltage (12.5 VDC hopefully). Start the car, check lead to battery with VOM again. If it shows 13.5 VDC or better, the alternator is fine. |

Gotta bring the wife along. Even though she has a big rack, she won't get in the way. Thanks! |
