An update.
It is the long weekend here. Dealer quoted $385 for ALT and $260 for labor plus tax.
Canadian tire quoted $219 for ALT and $230 for labor. They were open Sunday so I dropped the car off.
They called back and said they did not want to touch the exaust and this was a dealer specific item. They did not charge for diagnostic.
I had charged up the battery the night before, so I had enough juice to take her home. Spent this morning looking her over, checked the mega-fuse, it was OK. So I looked at Ray's how-to and assesed the job, I owe it to you guys to do it my self. I am a couple extentions short, weill pick those up first.
It there a difference to the Ford Alternators compared to aftermarket?
Does the new ALT come with the regulator as well?
Thanks again.
