2003 tribute; alternator, $489.95 + 4.2 hours of labor.

Ouch! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Maybe it's located under the engine mount.



Steve

I'd be taking it to a local electrical shop to rebuild.

tribute alts are located just above the axel and mazda warrenty only pays i wanna say .9hr for it but it might be 1.9 its been a while since i had to do one. ower coast on reman alts for the tribute is 285 here plus 2.5hours labor. looks like someone got taken for a trip down dry dock cave. lol or i can look at it like this,,,,,,,,,, i need to charge more but my ****** boss wont let me.



randy

warranty pays 2.1 and mazda list is 489.20... reman. dealer cost is 295

hmmmmmmmmm i wonder why that we only get paid the way we do, then again this shop is scared of the warrenty ppls at mazda.

as long as you follow their rules, theres nothing to be scared of. pete's a nice guy even

My mazda6 is ford, honestly besides not getting anywhere near the fuel economy advertised its has never been to the dealer besides some bullshit with the brakes when it had 3000 miles on it.

But...its....a mazda? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

GM wants $495 to replace a cracked windshield and $150 PER DISC and $90 PER AXLE labour to replace the brake discs that have only 70,000 kms on them for the G6. Aftermarket discs are $50 each.

everyone has outragous prices for certain things, but ford is higher than mazda, lately, which doesnt make sense

its all made in mexico **** anyhow

ahahaha i sold that alternator for 1k plus labor a couple weeks ago lol the guys asked if we were sick lol oh and in the new tributes the colors are soooo ugly we actualy pay a guy to come down and paint our dash boards lol

I have the Supercharged Harley truck and built everything. Its just an FD the carries more people.Nothing but issues and money.I wanted it and I like it when it runs but the rest of the time I bitch that I need a SRT10.

i'm happy with my F250. no problems really. ford's arent that bad..............



anyone who goes to a dealer should expect to be raped haha

I have a friend who had a SRT10 pickup, that ******* thing was a lemon, they actually bought the

truck back it was so bad.

I've had nothing but good luck with my 1985 Chevy C30 Silverado Dooley. Best part is that I could sell it tomorrow for what I paid for it back in 2000. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



But I ain't gonna sell it. Ever.

have a 94 with 167k on it, only thing gone wrong is the power steering pump. 4x2 XLT model, basic, stripped down. oh, and recently the front drivers side brakes started smoking. nothing was left on the pads! lol
