Who builds good rebuilt alternators for Nissans?

Sounds good. Best of luck with the installation and longevity with the part!

Good move, good deal on the hitachi it sounds like.

Also, I like your idea of taking it back to the rebuilder. he'll be able to inspect his work and find out where he can improve. Who knows, he may be able to rebuild another one and get you 10 years of it next time by giving him this invaluable info. Perhaps a part he didn't replace in the reman went bad that he should have replaced at the time, etc. You know, that sort of thing.

If you have having multiple alternator failures, you might want to dig into the battery cables, grounds, and load test the battery before throwing another rebuilt at it. The best rebuild in the world isnt going to last long pumping at 100% duty through bad connections and a weak battery all the time.

Any time I replace an alternator I spend as much time cleaning connectors, checking cables and crimps, and checking grounds as I do on the labor replacing the alternator itself. I always use the cheap parts stores alternators and have only had one failure, and since that one went almost as many miles as the factory original, I have a hard time blaming it on the quality of the rebuild.

the battery was less than a year old. now its new again. Cables and connections are great.
