    My Friend COOLPARTS

    I purchased a "working" Alternator from my fried Coolparts and installed it yesterday. Started car and heard a chatering noise, thought it was Harmonic Balancer. Got out my home made stethoscope and put all around the front of the engine, what do you think I found? A bad rear bearing in the "working" alternator. He got me again the #&^*$@...... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and
    "mental illness.

    The "GSX" has arrived.

    Jon,

    What happened to Jim Finn? Anyway, write him a note on the ebay email format...address and explain the situation to Paul (there are two.... Paul who I think owns the cars and Michael who does the computer work for him...both are nice). I feel confident he will make it right, or refund your money as he is fair. I had a problem with some floor mats and he made it acceptable. If he refunds your money check out Jim Finn, or instead of another used Alternator, you might want to think about an Advance rebuilt...the heavy duty lifetime warranted model...I have one (bought it before I knew Jim Finn)that is about 4 years old and logging around 30,000 miles and is doing fine (around $100.00 I think).... so far :.

    Hope your luck changes Jon <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
