Mopar Alternators FAQ

What are the Signs My Vehicle's Alternator Has Failed?

The obvious: battery and alternator warnings on the dash, and a dead battery. Others range from electrical systems like the lighting, power windows, instrumentation, windshield wipers, electronics, and power steering not working to a squeaking engine. You may also notice a burning smell around the battery or alternator, and alternator fluid leaks. The cause of all this: either installing the wrong accessories, jump-start wrong, or parts gone bad.

When Does an Alternator Need to be Replaced Otherwise?

Every 80,000 miles to about every 150,000. That's every 7 years or so. Use an OEM alternator for the job, and if you're not sure what to do, a Mopar service center can help.

How Much Does it Cost to Replace an Alternator?

According to RepairPal, $640 to $800 plus, on average. It can vary by make and model. For a Chrysler 200, for instance, $755 to $810 or more. For a Dodge Journey, between $585 and $650, usually. For a Jeep Compass, $790 to just over $850; a RAM 1500, $750 or so to $955 plus, and so on.

Why Buy an OEM Alternator vs. Aftermarket?

It'll be genuine Mopar -- top-quality, guaranteed to fit your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM, and warranty-backed. Plus, it won't void your factory warranty, like some aftermarket alternators can.
