I was wondering if anyone knows how much it would be to put in a new altenator in, mine crapped out in my 97 neon. Also i would need to power a concept 1200D and was wondering how many amps i would need for the altenator

get a HO alt from either excessive Amperage, Iraggi, etc. Some other members will recommend you some others as well as they are all reliable.

try and get a 200amp or more HO alt. do your Big 3. get a new batt.

but do you know how much it would be ot have it installed?

you can easily install it yourself. Just remove the timing belt and unbolt your OEM alt. Then remove the disconnect the wire thats attached to it, reattched teh wire to your new alt, bolt on the new alt, then put on the timing belt. It's that That easy. But again, if you have one of the newer cars that have engine compartments that leave no room for you to be able to work, you might have to remove the engine to get to the alt.

installation is really ez. 2 screws, a wire plug-in, and a lead to the battery. the only tough part(if u have never done it), is getting slack from the belt. but u can def do it yourself.

lol nobody has mentioned once to disconnect the battery before doing anything. also you don't disconnect the timing belt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif most likely it's a cerpintine (sp?) belt. can't imagine a 97 with seperate belts.

It will cost you probably 75-150 depending on where you live....plus the cost of the alt., I suggest doing it yourself with a HO alt

if you are looking for a good replacement alt that will bolt up with no problems, look into http://www.mean-green.com. mine fit perfectly and they come with a 2 or 3 year warranty which is more then most of the other HO alt companies. also they include directions on how to install the alt. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

remind me never to buy a neon if you have to remove the entire engine to get at the alt. i can not believe you would have to pull the engine to replace the alternator. i would take off the fender before i would remove the engine. i mean that's just silly. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
