Not the engine, the alternator. My girl was on her way home last night from work when the alternator finally gave out. I didnt know if it was the stock one or not but it sure enough was. Sacs and I swapped it out for a new one tonight and I think it was still in working condition, just the plug was full of corrosion. 170k on an alternator is not bad though. Outlasted the ignitor and the battery, but not the clutch!

 

Holy, Good Ol' Honda reliability!

 

What!? The clutch is still good? Damn!

 

well, it still works, i wouldnt call it good.[&:] maybe a DIY coming up in the next few months though.

 

Hmmm...are you guys running a two for one special..Sac isn't that far away.

 

Wow ive never heard of a alternator lasting that long.

 

That's impressive...

 

you need a clutch put in? let me know, i can even get you a good price for one.

 

Toyota Alternators have 150k lifespans...they all will last within 5k of that.....i have had 2 from new and both fell right in that time frame....most likely all you had to do is clean it up and replace the brushes and bushings and it would run another 170k.

 

how long do they usually last??
