Chevrolet Alternator

To recharge your vehicles battery and power the electrical systems that make it run as seamlessly and efficiently as it does, it has an alternator underneath the hood. The alternator spins anytime the engine is running, converting the motion into an electrical charge using the principles of an electromagnet. Over the years, the alternator may not work as well as it once did, and you'll need to replace it. Fortunately, Chevy alternators from AutoZone are available from top brands like Bosch and Duralast for a great price.

The normal service life in alternator is about seven to 10 years, but sometimes a problem will require a replacement sooner. Symptoms usually show up first including a battery light on the dash, a dead battery, the engine turning over slowly, smoke from under the hood, a whirring noise, or dim lights. You might even get a check engine light due to low voltage codes.
