FC Alternators from Autozone
Anyone ever buy one for their FC from autozone? Curious as if they are any good...My friend bought one for his s13 and he said it died 3 times in one year... :confused:
|
i bought 2 for my bronco they both failed after acouple months luckly i paid for a warranty
|
crappy and not recommended. The auto zone alts are typically rebuilt alts(busted parts replaced), not remanufactured (all parts that could fail replaced).
|
just take it to a shop and have them rebuild it. mine was $80 with a one year warranty and a full rebuild.
took them two days... that's if you don't mind the downtime. |
I had several go out with a couple months apart. Got them from various Schucks/Napa ect... Finally doubled down and got a Mazda unit. Years have gone by and it's still putting out great power.
It's more expensive, but I'd go with the factory Mazda unit anyday. |
I too have had bad luck with Autozone alternators for other vehicles. I had 3 different one fail on me within a 3 week period. Got one from another source and had no issues at all.

Get the FD alt from Silverrotar :).
|
go to advance auto parts, our alternators have the 1 year replacement. I haven't had bad luck with our parts and i buy plenty of parts from my work (advanced auto). Some people do return things on that 1 year replacement or our limited lifetime replacement, but that's usually because something else on their car is causing the failure of the part.
|
I still wish I had bought mine from Silverrotor even though my alt from Kragen hasn't gone out yet...4 months and counting :S
