K there's the Hyundai Sonata



There's the LGT, AKA Subaru Legacy GT

I still don't get how 1st7 could mix the two up...

Now the question is, which one would last longer under a senior citizens driving habits. What also should be taken into consideration that the senior citizen is not senile and can tell the difference between the brakes from the gas.

EDIT: happy, whiny school boy bitch.

I got that exact alternator b/c it has a lifetime warranty. Lasted 2,000 miles before it died. It had an intermittent problem so at first they wouldn't fill the warranty until I put it back in and it failed again. This time it took my battery down with it. No refund, had to pay for a new battery (not covered by warranty). It's an Autolite battery btw. Kragen had trouble replacing it b/c it was an online order and they don't carry it in the store. Fortunately they were nice enough to cut some corners and replace it with an Autolite alt they had in stock. That one lasted 2 weeks . Thanks to a couple mix-ups and above story I managed to get a refund. A mechanic recommended an alternator shop on Griffin off of Slater (near Gothard), in Huntington Beach. That one has 3,000 miles on it so far. Another mechanic who verified that the problem was my alt and not my car commented that bad remans are common, and that I just got bad luck twice in a row.

Warranties are a scam.

EDIT: Oh yeah, is there a meet tonight?

Never had a problem getting mine replaced under warranty. And, aside from a a situation of rubber dust from a disintagrated belt (which I am sure was due to it being touched by a mechanic with bad mojo) causing a failure, I've run a Kragen alternator for years. So it does sound like you simply had bad luck.

BTW, what I do is print the online price out and take it to the store for price match. Best of both worlds. Best price, and you're in the computer for future warranty reference.

Yeah I didn't say you couldn't get a good reman from Kragen or another store. The other stores carry the same brands, btw, and Kragen employees were quite helpful when I had issues. I'm saying - or really both mechanics I went to and others said - there are a very large number of lousy ones so it's a gamble. In fact, I'd bet well over 50% of them won't die within a few thousand miles. Who knows, maybe it's over 80% or 90%.

If you gotta get a cheap alt from a major store just be sure to save the warranty. A lifetime warranty doesn't mean they never fail; it means they know they can afford to replace the shipping palattes upon shipping palattes of returns. Especially since they'll never run out of alts b/c you have to give them your broken core.
