Alternator
Choose Your Vehicle Make
|
Your alternator is an important part of your vehicle's electrical system. The alternator is responsible for keeping the battery in your car or truck charged to factory specifications. This is done by converting your vehicle's mechanical energy to electrical energy through the use of a magnetic field. The resulting AC current powers your electronics and charges your battery for continued use. Without an alternator, your vehicle will run out of juice very fast, leaving you stranded. Signs of a failing alternator include: A dead battery, low voltage readings on your dash gauge, dimming of headlights at night with other accessories running, and battery overcharging.
Don't be inconvenienced by an incapacitated automobile, buy our new alternators today and you can rest assured your car electronics won't fail anytime soon. Alternator Questions:
How do I know if my alternator needs replacing?If you experience dimming lights, poor heater function, and a dying radio while driving, then there's a chance your alternator is failing. If your battery constantly loses its charge or your car has slow engine turnover, those are also good signs that your alternator may be on its way out. return to top Why would my alternator fail?Common reasons for Alternator failure include defective wiring, rotor failure, worn brushes, excessively tight or loose belts, overheating, electrical overload from the battery, and oil or coolant leaking into the alternator among other problems. return to top How do I know I've got the right Alternator?Our product development team spends 8,000 hours a year researching our parts, providing you with 4x more information per part than the competition.

Finding a shop manual for your automobile and reading through the procedure before you begin is the best way to see what you're up against and whether or not you want to begin the project. return to top |
