vmax2000cc Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Anyone know if it's worth a rebuild or a replacement on terms of cost? Seem to be getting mixed messages when asking around locally and might try building it myself if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Easy to rebuild. Personally id replace for something stronger like SRDs mechman ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagman Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Adaptor leads, round to oval are available , not that expensive , rebuild of alternators is possible but it's usually the center slip ring that's worn out and grooved - not easy or cheap to replace . "Uprated" alternators are available for a reasonable price , but they are not really uprated , any higher power output should also have greater cooling which would make them physically larger , they are not , also the windings would be larger (bigger alternator ) they are not , so they just alter the regulator system to provide more current and hopefully the brushes .-I have never had an issue with them . The alternators do not work much past 100,000 miles , it's just another of the supra running costs to be included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
