does any alternator that is on a echo engine or any toyota make cars fit the scion xb. i am wanting to get a new one but thought i would try to go this route and have it rebuilt.

 

Why are you wanting a new aternator? Do you want to upgrade or is yours bad?

 

So you are looking for a rewind??

 

Find a local Auto Electric shop with a good reputation and let them rebuild it. My starter went out on my '91 Explorer recently, only had 227K miles on it, and they replaced it with one that they rebuilt for $146 parts and labor. I was going to pay $115 just for a starter.

 

i am wanting to get more amps out of it and everything...my stereo makes it squel when i have it on without the car running

 

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but how does it make it squeal if the cars not running?

 

there was an alternator shop in mooresville i forgot where it was in mooresville or what the shop was called :? it been about slightly over 7years or so but they did a nice job on a rebuild on my vintage alt that i had at the time...

yeah yeah yeah some help i've been haha

 

no it squels once my car is started my car up and everything. i took it to a toyota dealer and they tightened up my belt and everything but they say it is my gears in my alternator going out

 

gears in the alernator? thats a new one on me

 

Maybe the belt could be squealing on the pulley, because of too little tension on the belt.
Or maybe the alternator bearings could be squealing, from too much tension on the belt.
In either case, the alternator itself is not the problem and does not need to be rewound.
If the alternator needed to be rewound, it would not be charging and you would see a red light and there would be a diagnostic trouble code.
