My LSJ just turned on the red battery light on the dash, and the alternator is making a squealing noise.
The used-auto-parts-yard have $27 alternators for the normal Cobalt, but don't have my SC LSJ engine's alternator.
Looking at the form factor, the two alternators look the same, physically, but the LSJ one has a different electrical plug.
I am tempted to buy the basic alternator, and the normal Cobalt electrical plug, and solder it into my engine harness... I really don't need the rare 135A alternator. Will this work? I don't have the connector/electrical view for the normal Cobalt alternator.
Oh yeah, I need to keep the 6 rib pulley off the old alternator, as the basic one is a 5 rib pulley.
Thoughts?
