Quality for less money.: Alternators

Used in my LS3 swap (I used LS1 PCM and harness so I had to use a 1 wire alternator) with no problems. Be sure to charge the battery before installation. The quality is several times lower than other brands.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Not all will fit

Lasted 15 months but only 5,000 km Fits well

It was the right part, arrived on time, fits perfectly. Worked fine for 15 months but then died. My Trans Am isn't made for everyday use either, so while it lasted 15 months, it only did about 5,000 miles. The warranty has expired, can you still change it? I'll update when they do. Right now I don't think he would buy another one.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Very badly done. Cheap. Other reviews appear to be fake.

The product works. This is NOT quality. Compared to oem old. Feels like a toy. Spend more on a good one if you can. Of course I wish I understood how painful it is to install them on these ls1. I don't think other reviews of this product are legitimate. It looks like a publicity stunt. Charge the battery, otherwise it will not work. However. Works in a pinch, but yeah, doesn't last.

Pros
  • Inspires trust
Cons
  • old

A good generator for the price is even better than local stores.

I needed a replacement generator at a good price as my stock deals with Firebird and Amazon were running out again. It looked, felt and weighed the same as the previous alternator that was bought at the local auto parts store for a fraction of the price. Climbed under the car, got dirty and replaced the defective device. It's been working great for a few months now and I'm very happy with it.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Bearings started squeaking 3 months after installation

I bought this supposedly 'new' alternator to replace the original alternator which worked but the bearings started to squeak. The same started a few months after installation. Bearings must be installed to precise specifications on new equipment to ensure squeak-free operation. Obviously they weren't built that way. Will be replaced again with the original new alternator.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Slightly torn

The amperage is higher than OEM!

This alternator is a perfect fit on a 2002 Camaro ls1 and has a higher amperage rating than the standard 90 amps. Remember to fully charge the battery before starting the new generator! Alternators are not designed to charge a depleted or depleted battery. It just keeps your battery's charge level up. A lot of people give bad reviews because they damaged their new alternator allowing it to charge a dead battery. Jussein.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • So far so good

Works but outputs low voltage.

I needed a new alternator because of a broken voltage regulator. This alternator solved the problem, but now the voltage on my car regularly drops to 12.0 volts at idle. This usually happens when the air conditioning and/or radio are on, but sometimes they go off without being used. I'm not sure if I have a bad alternator or if something else is wrong, but my alternator with a bad normal alternator puts out enough voltage so I'm guessing it's an alternator. It was still a good generator for the

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • some defects
