how much to repair 1991 plymouth alternator?

Question 1
how much to repair 1991 plymouth alternator?...  

Answers
1)   $20384239842309482035263908 - The F

2)   you'e gonna have to give some more info for an accurate answer to this Q.

Which car- (model of Plymouth ?). Engine size etc.etc.

If it's got an engine made in america, probably not much more than a couple of hundred dollars - done by an honest professional mechanic. - Alfonzo

3)   That would depend on what's wrong with it. bearings, brushes, diodes, windings... but actually hardly anybody actually fixes them. You just trade your old one in for a completely rebuilt one for about $100. - Howard L

4)   Howard is pretty much correct, about $100 for a rebuilt one from Advance Auto.

If you want to go new rather than rebuilt plan on spending at least double that amount.

If you have any further questions please give us the model and engine size, it makes the answers more accurate, counting vans and cars there were probably six or more models of Plymouths in 1991. - Don't know everything !

Question 2
Plymouth Voyager (1994) is using alot of oil ...?...  and there's no trace of where it goes. It's not smoking or any oil fumes. I'm asking here because my renter who lends me the van is hardly ever around to ask him and there's no owner's manual. Could it be the oil pump is not working?

Answers
1)   The oil pump pumps oil throughout the engine for lubrication, if it was inoperative the engine would seize.

There's a possibility the front crank seal is leaking and it will drip oil when sitting and leak heavily when the engine is running.

I suggest you check the dipstick before you drive the van again. - Don't know everything !

2)   Oil should not disappear.
It goes in the car, and is reused again and again until it becomes old and you change it out for the same amount.
.
IE, its not like gasoline, that you use up, and put more in.
.
Its leaking somewhere for sure.
As the guy above me said, if the oil pump wasnt working the engine would soon seize. And that still
wouldn't explain where its going.
.
No smoking means its not being combusted. If its not fuming, then its not hitting anything hot enough to burn it.
.
The only logical solution is that the oil is leaking from somewhere.
.
Raise the van up on jack stands or on a lift and examine the underside of the vehicle for spots that
are heavily coated in black oil like liquid. If its near a seal or gasket, then that's probably the leak.
Just make sure to look above it also, so you dont think its one thing, and it turns out its a seal
above that one leaking down.
.
Park the car for a while and see if any oil puddles form underneath. - Alfredo G

3)   It's probably a 3.0 mitsu v-6, that are known to use oil after 100k miles or so. - done wrenching

Question 3
1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible? Boy/Girl Car?...  Okay so my dad found a deal for a 1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with only has 47k miles on it. And it was only $4300. I no it is supposedly a horrible car but I like how it drives and everything and it is easy to control and it has some zip to it! It is a Dark red with a tan/gray hood. So would you consider this to be a girl car or a guy car. Someone said its a chick car and since I'm a guy I was thinking uh-oh... So any ideas? Is it more just unisex or is it more guy car or chick car?

Answers
1)   Wull, i have a 2006 Chrysler Sebring Convertible GTC in jade green and i love it. My mom got a great deal on it a year and a half ago for my junior year of high school since it was not what everyone was into or whatever these days, but they obvious have never driven one before. Its style is slightly more feminine than most cars no doubt but it delivers much more than many people may assume. Aside from looks, its practical for a convertible and gets really decent gas mileage for its size. Sure its no real sports car, but while most of my high school friends only got generic corollas and whatnot, only two cars in the entire school of over 4500 students were chrysler sebring convertibles which made them quite unique and attractive to the other kids.

Yeah, i hear people telling me that my car is "beautiful" more so than hot or sick (and i too consider it to be more of a her) but dude she's a looker top up or down. - Brennen

2)   As long as it gets the attention of girls does it matter? After that, you have to make it happen. - C-Tech

3)   A car is a car is a car. Don't worry about what people think, if they are that shallow they're not worth knowing anyway.

If you like the car buy it and enjoy it. Have confidence in who you are and what you know, be more mature than the ones that judge you by the car you drive.

I am on a first name basis (known him for over 40 years) with a man that became a multimillionaire using $25,000 settlement money from an accident. He drives a "shoulda been junked years ago" pickup and wears worn out T-shirts and faded blue jeans, clean clothes but he looks like he doesn't have two nickels to rub together. He knows who he is as do others that have known him for years, strangers won't look twice at him. - Don't know everything !

Answers
1)   for most of the newer cars in 2000+ you may have to go to the dealership, they don't want the regular joe to be able to work on his own car. you can ask at a parts store or local garage. they may refer you to the dealership. - kathy

2)   Amber, I have a Haynes repair manual for 03-05 Chrysler minivans. I will try to scan and email the page with the directions to you. If it doesn't work, go buy one and look on page 6-16. - Jim
