mjrsplat Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm 90% sure my alternator took a shit on me. The battery light came on, the car slowly died. I jump started it, and it just ran the battery down again and died again. I noticed when the battery light first came on, I hit a bump and it went off, hit another bump and it came back on. I will be going through the wiring tomorrow to rule that out, but if the alternator turns out bad are there any local shops that rebuild them? I don't want to purchase a radioactive one from Japan unless I have to. Does anyone have a 1jz alternator they would consider selling?

Wheezle Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Did you check your local parts store for a rebuilt one or new one? Im pretty sure there are only two companies in the US and Mexico that make alternators and they supply your local auto parts store with most makes and models. I would check your local parts store as its usually cheaper than having it rebuilt, if you can find someone to rebuild it. I believe one of our sponsors works at O'reilly's.

mjrsplat Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I don't think I'm going to find any 1jz parts at the local auto parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
