charge trek XIII - 'what's for dessert?'

[tim eh?]

hmmmm, how about another alternator?

this one had better work - isn't it missing something? like a belt wheel?

or do they come like this now?

[Dave M]

I'll admit, I don't have enough time in a day to follow all your threads , but do wish you extra good luck with desert. Your pulley will swap over (hopefully).

tim, how many amps. is your new alt.? how much you got it for?

Hopefully this is the LAST alternator to go in there for awhile. Not to far to go before you pass the number of superbowls we've had with the number of threads you've had :o

Tim, mine came like that. You need an allen or preferably a torx to hold the shaft of the old Alt, then simply unscrew. There is a slight taper fit so you will need a wheel puller to get the pulley off. I used an impact gun to snug it onto the new alternator. Not plug and play but easier than I thought... just need to put mine on after 1.5 years.

it's expensive, it will come out to around $400 after taxes and the core refund. it's the 115A... the 140A didn't fit the m20 mount (careful!). no way i would have paid that to begin with but things happen as they do, and i'm happy to have a real bosch at least.

thanks for that info, jeff - i had a spare hour before sundown today, and am really glad i read your post before deciding to do it or not. (....not)

i am sorry for all the threads... do you think i have the record yet? it's the best way to get rid of irrelevant information and i have ruled out sooo many things now. i'm sorry it's taking so long guys, i'm amazed i still get replies! just a couple jobs left now and you can have your forum back.

i really need to solve this badly tho - i really could have used max blower this morning, at least i'm done painting...

I look forward to your new threads! Weather is a bit challenging there I see, have a place to do this at if you get it towed or just going to hack away in that weather?

wow $400! i hope this time all would be fine. anyway i used to have a 140amp alt. that came from z3.pulley gave up on me so i had the mechanic took out my whole alt. to have the pulley machined. on the way back he accidentally dropped my alt. in the highway bec. it wasn't secured enough in his scooter! grr. talk about bad luck! now im back with 115
