Ok, my 97 trackers alternator took a shit and I need to know first of all if anyone has a spare or a new one for sale. secondly, why the fuck is it way down toward the bottom and on the left??? arent you supposed to keep it high so it doesnt get wet or hot???? Im a lil frustrated... a lil help??

What kind of alt. did you replace it with vonrotez, and use original bracket or new one?

Junkyards or rebuild one or buy new one... mine both have remanfactuered before I got ahold of it and both of em have new water pump too! Funny...

Yeah,they'er not fun to change,I put a new one on last winter,265.00 at napa.OUCH! There's less stuff in the way on the older ones but that back bottom bolt is still 1/4 turn at a time,with ice water running down yer neck.
