Alternator died?

[shadow247]

Very well. I will add that when you knock out this replacement, I would definitely recommend hanging onto your oem alt and keep it for a future project to have as a spare. I’d get a brush replacement kit from Toyota, I’m sure you can find all of the needed p/n’s here on this website for components needed replacing.

I only say this because it’s always a good idea to have a spare on hand and ready to go if at all possible. Plus it’s OEM. So that’s a huge benefit over an aftermarket piece of junk.

I have the local alternator guy rebuild my OEM one for 90 bucks. He replaced the bearings, brushes, plunger,, and cleaned it all up for me.

Take it for what it’s worth…. Every reman is a OEM unit rebuilt to the cheapest specs.

I fixed my dead CarQuest Alt with brushes from Toyota.

I fixed my New Made in Asia starter with parts I had left over from fixing an OEM Starter.

And I’ll say that for the price of the New starter with the plunger greased/ replaced with a OEM contact kit is well worth it.

agree with this. I did a denso rebuilt on mine, with 249k and sounded like a bearing going, so got a rebuilt. Turns out the bearing whine was not the alternator. So kept the core, put brushes I had on hand, and its sitting on the shelf as a spare

That's a definite win. $90 sounds like an excellent deal especially if he's using all OEM components.

Smart way to go about it and I would do the same myself to be honest.
