The ACDelco brand stands for quality. To further enhance that reputation in the remanufactured rotating electrical aftermarket, ACDelco has announced product upgrades to Line 33 Alternators and Starters.
On many top selling parts in the remanufactured product line, ACDelco will use 100% new regulators on alternators and 100% new solenoids on starters. These product upgrades make ACDelco the only brand using 100% new regulators and solenoids in our most popular remanufactured parts.
New Quality Label
The upgraded product will be
easy to identify with the addition of a gold quality sticker applied to the top
of the box. (Fig. 11)
The upgraded products will be shipped automatically as new orders for alternators and starters are processed.
Root Cause
When making repairs on rotating electrical systems, in-depth diagnosis is needed before parts replacement, including checking other components and conditions that might affect system performance, such as any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, battery health and fluid contamination
Fluid contamination is often the root cause of the failure of starters. For instance, oil intrusion into a starter will degrade the brushes to the point where they will not make good electrical contact with the armature/commutator. Inspect the old starter; if it appears to be oil soaked, repair the source of the leak (i.e. valve covers, intake valley, etc.). Fixing the oil leak will reduce the chance of a customer comeback.
More Information
For more information on how to prevent early failures of alternators and starters, check out the Comeback Prevention seminar (S-DS11-01.01SEM).
To learn more about the latest technology used in modern charging and starting systems, attend the Advanced Charging and Starting Systems Diagnostics seminar (S-EL06-20.01SEM).
Contact your local ACDelco distributor to learn when a seminar will be held in your area.
