Ok guys,
As you know I'm an old salt here, I've helped hundred of people, but now I've reached the rope with NAPA. I've bough several alternators thought them for various local customers with the famed torque converter lock up.
And after 2 years with a new Napa alternator mine failed in late January. Due to my own error I misplaced that recipt so I bought another new one for $191.
Yesterday night after 6 months and a few days this one gave up as well. The ac ripple would go from .05vac then started spiking to .12vac. I called the same NAPA dealer I always use and told them it was a warranty. When I got there, they informed me that a 'lifetime' warranty was a one time swap. This was news to me, the only one they had had worse stats on it then one from pepboys I looked at in January.
Here are the stats on the alternator.
The old one the VAC was 30amp and the ripple was .55mAmp
The one that just died ac amperage was 36amp, and the ripple was .36mAmp
The new one I got pulls 38 amp with a ripple of .67vac.
With my hands tied I had to take it.
On the truck my fluke meter was showing .05vac with spikes of .07, but turn the headlights on and air conditioning that went to .65vac to .1vac.
Total fail. I'm so aggravated. I couldn't even get my one I just traded in back.
But in the limelight of this is Larry B, I contacted him and bought a denso rectifier. Neither of us are sure if how this will work out but I will be writing a report up on this.
And I hope that the rectifier from Larry B' s works. And I will be testing this out for everyone else. If this works I would say that this is better, because I'm done supporting a company that told me flat out this is it.
And to top it off Napa is using cardone rectifier s, and after learning this today I am now not surprised based on the several power steering pumps I've rebuilt that are Carson's as well.
