hey fellas
i'm going to try this it should be intresting at the least.
but i'm putting on a 130 amp alternator, i figure that it will run all of what i need. heres the scoop i got from autozone too..
Lifetime warranty Duralast 130A alternator 124.99 with 40.00 core.
Valucraft 1 year warranty 130A alternator 105.99 with 45.00 core.
What i'm going to try to do once i get the new one on is Since i have a 95A on my explorer now, is try and take back that for the core on the 130. If i play it slick i hope i can pull it off, i dunno. What do they check when you take in the old part as for a core charge? Do they even check at all? Or are they like okay let me see if this is an Alternator, open the box quickly look, ok it is an alternator.....heres your $45 core. thanks.
I figure i'll try it.. if they say "hey this is a 95 amp one, i'll just say "i didn't know" better to have tried and fail then to have not tried at all.
just thought i see if anyone eles had sucessfully fooled their local parts dealers when bringing back a part for a core.
