Alternator OEM FORD or VALEO

Had the same in reverse. Bosch factory, Valeo worked fine though.

Remember the old Bosch and Valeo alternators where the brushes were built into the regulator, which cost $15 and came off the back with two screws? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I can\u2019t make out the sound but once upgraded the alternator on my 29 roadster pu that had a late model bronco v6 in it and the darn thing sounded like I had a super charger with the whirling. Crazy sound but ran perfectly fine for as long as I had the truck (years).

First gen Expedition- I'm not a Ford fan, but some of those old Expeditions were amazing. Definitely seem to be hit or miss, either bulletproof or a nightmare with no in between. My father had a 98 that he bought new and scrapped in 2019 with just shy of 500k miles, absolutely beat the living shit out of that truck and it just wouldn’t die, only ever needed an alternator, 2 shifter cables, a brake hose and 2 ignition coils.

2021 Got the extended warranty, one year after the standard warranty went, so did my alternator. Extended warranty covered it.

I had Valeo in my other car, very common for Bosche to overcharge.

I did see something recently where an aftermarket alternator made by Valeo had the same part number as the Original Toyota part, but in fact had another software part number that made it through an error and not work properly.

Mesmo um Valeo novo está caríssimo, pede mais orçamentos.

I've got a 2017 ford escape needs a new alternator costs 1100 $, wtf for a Ford not happy.

I’ve been busting my butt all day trying to get the alternator out of my 2004 ford focus (mk1) for a few painful reasons
