so my next upgrade is going to be a new alt...theres a 180a one I can get my hands on for around 350 shipped, but id rather get it rewound if thats a safe route to go....

so my question is....is it safe to do to the alt or will it cause the alt to overheat or any other issues

 

i thought there weren't any larger alt available for the cobalt and rewinding was the only option.

 

any news on the alt yet?

 

maybe its cuz i have a LT but spun showed me a alt that works for 2.2's not sure on SS's tho

 

There rewinds, but I'm fairly sure its the same one for the 2.2's and the 2.4's

Yep its the same

This is the link for the 2.0 (05-07) Cobalt if any one is interested

would that fit an 08 LT

 

I'm 99% sure it will, I don't think they changed anything engine wise from 07-08 on the 2.2's or 2.4's

I think the only reason they do the 05-07 cut off is due to the LNF engine replacing the LSJ, (Turbo vs Supercharged). I don't think it applies to the lower models, engine wise at least.
Ask the guy who is selling them, just use the "ask the seller a question" right in ebay

 

I don't think anything is different because I used 07 parts in an 08 when I was working on cars. You should be safe.
