[Land-speed] Alternator Question

[Tom Bryant]

Thanks guys, I learned something so the day wasn't wasted. Obviously, I am
not staying current with this technology! I don't get under the hood of
anything but the race car anymore.

It's on a 2000 Caddy STS Northstar V8.  I did a Google and found several
refernces to it and it apparently is liquid cooled.  $700 for the part and
$700 labor.  Apparently, the motor has to be unbolted and partially moved to
get to the alternator from under the car.

Myself, I like old flatheads with the generator right up there where you can
get to it!

Anybody ever heard of a liquid-cooled alternator?  My son just had his
alternator replaced and was told it failed because of a broken cooling hose
to
the alternator.  $1400 bucks worth of replacement!
