LOL, I got the ValuCraft Alt. And if I upgrade, it at least has the lifetime warr. Whats bad, is we have a very limited income right now and I'm trying to save a few bucks.....LOL

 

Lifetime warranty is fine for them: they keep giving you another one until you get lucky and find a good one... Meanwhile, you're stuck holding the bag with having to keep changing them. Don't trust their tester machines, they're worthless. All you need is a voltmeter to check it.

 

Ya, before I pull this alt. I'm gonna go through all the wires and try to get everything nice and clean if it isn't alredy.. I went out to begin this project and dang if the parking lot isn't flooded all around my truck and the wifes jeep.....but I will let ya know what i come up with.....And thanks again.....

 

Try napa if you have one around your home.They have more better quality parts compared to autozone.Like captain hook said" Duralast is junk" I`ve had a bad past experience with duralast parts and batteries.Had bought a new duralast battery from auto zone years ago.I had to replace it 5 times before I found a decent battery.But after the fifth time I decided to just get my money back.

 

Ya, this will be my last time dealing with them......Thanks......

 

You might actually have better luck with a junkyard alternator than Duralast. When I upgraded my alternator I got a used one from Ebay for $50 and it is still working fine. If you were closer to me I would say you could have my stock one because it still works.

 

Well, I found 1 ground wire I thought I cleaned but missed..... It wasn't very bad but I cleaned it up just the same.... started it everything is going great, ran it around the apt complex shut it down waited , did a restart and Knock on wood, so far so good....I hope thats all it was......And thank you guys for all the info. and help.....

 

Ok, I got the lifetime alt. put it in and knock on wood.....all is well.....everything is charging and reading as it should be... Thanks to everyone for the help... Now its onto the ABS and windshield wipers.....lol thanks again.....
