Re: Asian crap parts to avoid
I usually have pretty good luck with the Napa premium starters and alternators. on older stuff, like the mustang, it is usually not in stock so they gotta order it. in this casw the ford alt had some issues so wiring needed to be checked/upgraded at the plug etc. I have a rebuilder that I use for the odd stuff if I don't really trust the aftermarket stuff. sometimes its an exchange, which is nice because they are across town for me so about a 45 minute drive if not rush hour, but having them rebuild the unit I give them usually means a day or two and a trip across town again. ok if I have other erands but otherwise it sucks AND ties up my bay unless I put stuff together enough to drive it outside and park it. thats a waste of my time that can't get charged out though.
I'm kinda done with fixing other peoples vehicles now though. unless they are family or close friends or elderly and broke.
