Which Alternator?

I tried calling both Checker and AutoZone to see how many amps their life time warranty alternators put out but no luck. Do any of you happen to know? I dont feel like paying 200+ on a part that shouldnt of died already.

 

try napa, and why arent you getting this warrantied? how many miles...edit: i thought you meant wrx, so definatly get a reman, it will be at least 100 cheaper then an oem subaru

 

I've got 50k on it so its out of warranty, unless by some miracle an alternator is considered an engine component.

I think the napa one is $270 which is $100 more then the autozone and checker ones and do Napa alternators have lifetime warranties?

 

im pretty sure that its considered an engine component. what year car and what kind?

 

the nappa ones are pretty good. They fire up wayy faster than the oem ones.

 

2003 WRX

100% stock

50,000 miles


Yeah, I've also had a few times where the car wouldnt start till the 3rd try. I replaced the battery Saturday but there are still pretty big dips to the electrics.

Does the Napa alternator have a lifetime warranty?

 

i have no idea since i wasn't the one that bought it. Contact wagonL on this forum. He's the one that bought a napa starter.

 

It depends on which napa alternator you have, one has a 3 year warrenty and the other one would have a lifetime warrenty.

I work at a Napa Auto Care center shop so I could help you with getting one and installing it.

I beleve the alternators put out 70 amps

 

I was looking for something more like the 90 amp one for the STI.

 

I've got an OEM alternator from a FXT that's got about 6,000 miles on it. I'd have to double check, but I think it's a 90 amp, if not it's a 75. I'd get rid of it for $150
