May be cheaper elsewhere. Easy job, just need metric wrenches.   Adrian Strata (Adrians) New Member Username: Adrians Post Number: 30 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 04:28 pm:    Replaced all the belts and put in a 100amp alternator yesterday on my 91 and the whole job took me about 1.5 hrs.

Just curious which brand alternator did you use and where did you buy it from.

Cost me $400 shipped to NJ. Might sound pricy but I had gone through 2 rebuilt alternators in 4 months. Takes a little over a week for them to put one together for you. AdrianS 91RRC
