Do the alternators on these cars (2008 Cobalt LNF's) have any other cars they share this alternator with?
Is there any other source besides GM to get a replacement alternator from?

Pulling mine off today to have it tested, but it looks like i'm having no luck finding any other place besides GM to buy one from.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

 

i believe the alternators on the 2.0 turbo/2.2/ and 2.4 are all the same. i would check your local junkyard

 

bought a replacement alternator from autopartswarehouse.com

GM charges about what 1k right? I also had the option of buying an alternator from O'reilly's for like 500ish. The brand was ultima.

 

WHAAAA? gm charges $1000 for an altenator on the LNF?

 

Well yeah, thats what the dude said at chevy dealership... lol. Actually it might have been 1100. But thats why i never wanna do anything with them. lol.

 

They're on gmpartsdirect for a lot cheaper, but they're still high in my opinion.

 

yeah, i think mine was like 200 somn? Maybe went below 200 after the core price.

 

And that was for an LNF car?

 

oh no my bad LSJ, is there a difference between LNF and LSJ alternators?

 

Cobalt SS Network > Engine Technical Discussion > 2.0L LNF Performance Tech > Reload this Page Alternator ?'s

lol

I don't have a clue, that's why i'm trying to find out. For the money that gm is asking for one of these, i'd rather spend that on a higher amp alt.

 

I don't know but at 4000 miles my alternator took a crap on me and I had to get it replaced.
