people hate to hear it but for my honda accord i got mine off ebay and never had a issue with it. and i paid like $120 shipped. had it tested and it did what was claimed. i loved it. just my opinion though

ive tried to go back and look but it was too long ago ebay doesnt show it. i just messaged them all a few questions after i picked a few i was interested in and bought one. look at their feedback before and see what ppl are saying about them. i loved mine and will buy my next one off ebay also. just my opinion

You got lucky. I bought one from eBay a few years back. Was nothing but nightmares failed after 2 months sent back took 2 months to get a replacement to find out that they wouldn't honor the warranty on the new one. If failed 3 weeks later. Had it rebuilt locally. I was told the alt was a stock alt with a smaller pully and cheap Chinese parts. And only put out 120 max. Not 220 like advertised

well i was aware of the risk. i got it and took it to be tested locally before installing. if it didnt work then ebay would pay to ship it back i was only out my money for a few days. ive seen a bunch from ebay work fine but there are a few ppl on here like yourself who had issues. i will be buying my next one off ebay though. sorry for your bad luck

Yea it's cool. I know some of the newer companies seem to be better but when your getting a 200 + amp alt. that where the issues come into play. The smaller ones can be good

Even our local alt builder will only build up to a 200 amp alt. he says it's to hard to make them last because the bearings wear out to fast over 200 amps
