Ebay Alternator?

[Lakota 5,000+ posts]

Obviously a stronger alternator would benefit my truck. Has anyone had any experiences with buying alternators from ebay? I'm kind of worried about the product quality. This is a good deal...if the product is good, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/200-AMP-ALTERNATOR-FORD-EXPLORER-RANGER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33573QQitemZ8045447971QQrdZ1 Would it be worth it to spend the extra money on a Mean Green or OG?

Depends on the person. The best way to know is to check the users feedback. Companies on ebay often times sell a lot of the same type of products, therefore if many people are pleased they will let the seller know. Warranty and they stand by it, then why not. Some people are just anti-ebay.

You're thinking MCR. I've never seen this guy before. He does seem a little cheap to be legit though.

Nope. I'm thinking correctly. MCR, Alterstart, and this guy... ****.

What's so sucky about them?

Low output? Poor quality? Cheap parts?

i got an alt from these guys, good feedback.

Its worked fine and was fairly cheap. iirc its 95 amps at idle and full power @ 1200 rpm.

They have their own website http://www.dbelectrical.com and have been around longer than ebay. Never know anyone else who got an alt from them though. Im down with them though..cool people to deal with... answered all my questions.
