| Post subject: | Another possible replacement alternator pulley |
After seeing so many stock alternator pulleys here fail, a member tried the Facet Reactiv pulley, which uses springs inside instead of a clutch. It worked as far as damping, but the springs inside broke in short order. See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62479 In searching around, I found this http://www.ct-drives.com/pulley-comparison.html It uses polymer compression spring elements that can't break like steel springs. They sell one model on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alternator-Isol ... es&vxp=mtr What was interesting to me is the last feedback listed from customers. Someone said it at least fit the CRD. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... ckAsSeller Feel free to comment. I'm thinking about getting one just to see the before/after difference in the tensioner movement and do some durability testing on the CRD. |

Buyers beware Autozone remans. Any success stories with them from members? |

I've been running an Autozone alternator for ~10k miles. It has a lifetime warranty, so i'll just return it if there's any problem. |

That's good to know. Maybe the failed one was just a fluke because of the wobble in it. Does yours have the Facet pulley on it? (Reactiv or Positork or whatever). How's the tensioner movement at idle? Also I just noticed that the text of the CT Drives website is in part blatantly plagiarized from the Facet website. hmmm...
