Tonight driving home one of my idiot lights came on. It was the one with the battery, meaning it isn't being charged. As soon as I saw it I checked the alternator belt, it was fine. Is there anything other than the alternator its self that could be the problem?

 

It could possibly be the battery, but I wouldnt bet on it. I think your gonna have to replace your alternator.

 

Ya, I'm thinkin' that too. I just bought a new battery , I doubt it's that. What does a new alternator usually cost?

 

I picked one up a while back, assuming your d series, mine was $156 and some change, but I got a 40 bucks back from the core charge.

 

Oh sorry it's actually a B16. But I assume it wouldn't very in price that much.

 

I looked them up on a parts website, they are around $125 at oreilly auto parts. I dont know if you guys have oreilly auto in fl tho.

 

No we don't but I could just find some part chain around here. Did you install yours yourself?

 

Yeah, super easy on a d series, I have never owned a b series so I couldnt tell ya how hard they are to change, but I wouldnt think it would be much different.

 

What tools were needed?

 

just regular hand tools, socket, ratchet, and a couple wrenches. If anyone with a b16 reads this feel free to reply, I havent changed one with a swap before, here is the guide I went by.

Alright cool thanks for all your help. And I agree anyone who has changed one on a b series feel free to post your 2 cents.

 

no problem.
