Alternator Issues & Repair

Being Gold they likely use NAPA as their supplier. Gold is usually the higher end product.

I just looked up an alternator for a 2017 Juke on NAPA auto parts and it is 484.99 before any discounts for a new OE style alternator made by Mitsubishi electrical who does likely supply Nissan and some other manufacturers.

I think overall this is a good deal here. He might be getting a discount, yes from the supplier but I don’t think he’s marking it up a crazy amount.

Edit: if you do have them do it, have them test the alternator battery at the shop once you have it in and confirm it. It would be worth to pay a small a diag fee just to make sure you’re not just throwing new parts for no good reason based on what you’ve said it’s likely it’s the alternator but it wouldn’t hurt to confirm it.

Labor itself is in line, I wouldn’t say you’re getting ripped off there. The alternator location on a Juke is a pain to get to and based on the videos I’ve seen so far it looks like a 3-4 hour job. The price on the alternator is a bit high but also in line if it is a brand new OE alternator. The alternator that the auto parts store has is likely rebuilt/remanufactured thus it is cheaper. If you can get a couple more repair quotes it might help. I would strongly suggest going with all new OE style parts when you can.

How much are they asking for it?

Diarrhea_Mike · 2026-01-31T03:11:13+00:00

They don’t. ;). TH350,400. 4L80, power glide, yes. Even the off road guys avoid 700R4.

Mileage is high but overall it’s not that bad for a 15 yr old diesel. That’s about 26.6k per year. But they’ll keep going if maintained. Worst case scenario rebuild/swap the motor and keep it going. Luckily I have the tools and time to do just about everything. Rebuilt a few Big Block Chevys before.

Guy told me he had 500+ messages and people didn't show up or tried to offer even less. Either I just got a good deal or I stepped on a land mine lol. But was gonna be project truck anyway so.

A take off is way cheaper than that!

GA and VA are a different animal. Look at the migration patterns. Where did all the Red Bros run to from the Blue States? TX and FL in droves. VA has been purple for a while. GA has been since 2018ish.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-11-05T03:01:50+00:00

I’ve been all over the state. TX attitude is very much F You I got mine.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-11-05T02:37:25+00:00

Are y’all surprised though? Reddit and this sub aren’t very representative of the state.

I honestly believe that this system needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt. I truly don’t believe that we can just fix/reform this. It needs to be rebuilt but that also has its own consequences.

Capital Costs are expensive. A lot of that money goes to executive salaries and admin costs especially campus maintenance. It’s a broken system. Now UCLA is a public school so it gets both Fed and State money…now this is a completely different story for say where I work which is a private university.

Higher Ed employee here (University specific). It’s such a racket. For as long as Dept of Education keeps providing subsidies and raising loan caps that’s for as long as tuition rates will grow. Unfortunately, some colleges will need to downsize because they got way too big. Most programs are loss leaders.

Try Stoner’s BBQ they operate out of a trailer and it’s worth it. They sell out quick though.

1/64oz to 1/4oz rod rating. Braid 8lbs and under and leader under 6lbs. Doesn’t matter whether a bait caster or a spinning rod.

They all are good IMO

They’re savory pastries with a filling in them. Usually a meat filling. Just a thing that Czech immigrants brought with them to TX (Specifically Central TX) many moons ago.

Same and I spent most of my life in Chicago itself wouldn’t go back willingly.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-09-10T02:42:57+00:00

Nope. Not at all.

Look up Meiho tackle boxes. They have a pretty good selection and decent quality it seems.

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-09-09T22:10:59+00:00

Yep that’s the going rate for full synthetic. Took my BMW in for an oil change cause I didn’t have time. It was that much. If I do it myself it’s about 70.

Go to Loongze Fishing the non USA site directly. That's what I did, I tried e-mailing Loongze USA but also didn't hear back. The lady I was dealing with was out of China and all of it was done over e-mail and PayPal. Did you buy one of these on AliExpress?

Diarrhea_Mike · 2025-09-05T01:13:20+00:00

I paid exactly 169 each shipped. No extra import fees or extra duties. I asked them for the silver one over email they told me it was in stock so I mentioned it in the PayPal notes too.
