Extreme Veteran Posts: 520 Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | you should call around for more quotes on your rebuild, $300 sounds quite steep. I had my old dodges generator rebuilt for $50 at antlers auto electric about 5 years ago. Im sure the price to do a rebuild has gone up since then but not to $300!! An alternator conversion is still the best way to go unless your going for a totally stock look. As for the genernator thing, hes taking the components from a new mini alternator and jamming it in the case. It cant be costing him more then $150 to make them, its a neat idea but hes charging way to much for it. :/ Edited by Chrispy 2005-01-02 9:36 PM | ||

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Here's a comparison. Vegas Auto Electric, a small shop near my house, is run by a longtime automotive electrical expert. He rebuilt two generators for me, charging $80.00 a piece. He also repainted them carefully and polished the tags. He rebuilt a '68 Mopar alternator for $60.00 and a '78 reduction gear starter for $60.00, also painting them nicely. You may want to try to find a local shop that does truck electrical, industrial DC motors, etc. K. | ||

Location: Colorado, Pike's Peak | You certainly do not need to speed anything near $300 to get a generator rebuilt. Should be somewhere between $50 and $150 max. Look in the phone book in major cities for shops that advertise alternator and generator rebuilding as their ONLY business. Slim | ||
