alternator

[Nick Eyford]

my alternator is puting out 18 amps of power istead of the usualy 13 - 14 i need a new one how mutch does an alternater go for on a 92 eagle talon awd 5 speed no a/c tsi i need to know g2 change it tommrow before work  

[Jeremy Clarke]

I think you mean volts. Our alts run 90 amps.

I just bought a remanufactured one last week from UAP/NAPA for 195 + core charge. It was the best deal I could find on short notice.

[Jared Clark]

I have a used one for sale. Got it from JK Japanese. Im just looking to get back what I paid.... $65

[Martin Raska]

You looking to get rid of that bad alternator I'll take it from you?

[Fraser Cassells]

Just a heads up, depending on how long you have been running 18`ish Volts I would inspect your capacitors in your ECU. Change them for sure if you havent allready.

i just got back from buying a bran new mitshubishi one for 140 pritty good deal when lordco is asking 300 for a rebuilt one and ways i dunno how long i was running 18 volts and this morning i checked it and it was running 19 volts soon maybe i can power a city lol just kiddin but this ecu thing how mutch it one and were can i get it and were is it on the car im used to mustangs and big trucks small cars i cant find a thing thanks guys

If I remember right all the capacitors in my ECU were rated at 50V max.  So he would be fine in that regard.

[Fraser Cassells]

No he would not.

[Chris Andrews]

Nick, before you assume the alternator is bad, make sure that the control wires  (the 2 (edit) conductor connector) are making good contact with the alternator.

[Nick Eyford]

changed my alternator took me less time then i thought it would but ya seems to be wokring good except i guess wen the old one went it blew out my head lights high and low beams and took out my turn signal lights i havent checked the turn signal light but i asume that it y they dont work but my car inside clicks supper fast wen i put the turn signal on any input of wat it could be would be great and oh ya wen i instaled my deck i lost my dash lights any input on wat that could be would be cool to and also last thing my power locks only work some times now before they worked perfect all the time wat could this be i checked all my fusses so im stumped thanks Nick

[Martin Raska]

No he would not.

Why not?  19V is far away from 50V.

[Fraser Cassells]

That is a very good deduction there martin, now go run off to your books and read what happens to electrolytic capacitors when subjected to variable spikes in voltage over a long period of time. YES their ability to filter is reduced and the result is what?  mmm a BLOWN CAP.. well now do you understand or is this in the realm of the "reversable injector"

It is well known that our Alts will give outputs MUCH higher than rated when the regulator fails so why would this concept be so hard for you to understand?

Now before you get your panites in a bunch and spew off a nice flame retort, THINK about why I would respond like this. Helping people is great, but giving out false info is NOT helpful. Get it?

[Nick Eyford]

how bout my dash lights y are they still out and does it  sound like my blinker lights are out or my flasher is screwed or sumthin

[Fraser Cassells]

Double check the ALt main fuse, it has a way of not looking blown when it is. You need to put a meter across it.

Please use spell check of some sort and proper sentence structure helps clarity.
