Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product - good price - arrived on time!

This alternator arrived on time and was relatively easy to replace with the old one in my Ford Econoline van. Everything works great and I saved about $75 at a local parts store near me (I was able to wait a few days, no issues, unlike other items I need today). This is a new part, not a rebuild, and it looks like new. I have a couple of batteries in my van) and everything is working fine and seems to be working even better (probably more voltage on the coils in my Super Duty V-10 motor?) Let's see if it holds up long term but that's all for now Well! The only problem I had with the repair was installing the serpentine belt (because the old belt broke due to the old alternator pulley seizing up). I ended up having to ask a mechanic to install a new belt after trying to install the belt. Belt after 4 hours and a lot of frustration because there is very little room to work in the engine bay of the V-10 Econoline! Towed to the shop and replaced the mass air flow sensor (another problem encountered during installation (stalling and rough running) - the van is 17 years old) everything works fine and I'm back to work. I think it was a live car repair tutorial but it worked fine! Hope that helps! Also, I must add: I bought a serpentine belt here at Revain and it worked well and was about half the price of the parts. This belt arrived a few days longer, but it worked out fine in the end! This is a 130 amp alternator for Super Duty applications. a few days for everything to arrive (I used 2 day shipping - I'm sure anyone could use next day shipping for an additional fee?) Again, hope this helps!
