Back in 2003 the original Delco alternator failed on my 93 Geo Prizm. I replaced it with a remanufactured Delco from Advance that came with a lifetime warranty. The part failed about a year later, I got a replacement, and the replacement is now starting to fail.
I've read good things about the Nippondenso alternators that come with Corollas. I'm tempted to switch to one of those but the folks in the store aren't convinced that it will fit the Prizm. (Although a make/model search on their website brings up the part.) My questions:
- Will the Nippondenso fit? Will it require any adapters?
- If Advance will let me switch to a ND, should I take another chance with them?
- If not, how do I tell a reliable reman. alternator from the rest?
I'm in the DC area if anyone knows a good source.
Thanks, MG
