Re: ALT relocation

no where really, there isnt really room. search "massive zena alternator" it didnt go well. i guess if you were really creative and didnt want AC you could put it there, but thats not much better than where it is now.

you are better off trying to make a better splash shield to keep it dry

Re: ALT relocation

I had 3 alternator failures, all within a 18-month period. But my last replacement was probably 4 years ago - and it has been perfectly fine ever since. If it was just location, that one would have failed too, since my driving habits and climate have not changed.

There are plenty of people here who have had ZERO alternator problems.

I don't think it's location as much as QUALITY of REPLACEMENT PARTS. I finally got a good one, so my problem is solved.

LIFETIME WARRANTY is the key.

Re: ALT relocation

Agreed spend the extra 20 and get the lifetime model. If anything goes wrong i get a new one, it also coming with a year free install warranty.

Re: ALT relocation
