Alternator Woes. Will It Fit?

[speed101]

hey there im new on this forum, but I have been scoping it out for a while XD

anyways I have the usual powersteering leak that destroyed my alternator.

and I have found an ls400 at a junkyard. I was wondering if the alternator from a 1991 ls400 would fit directly onto a 1991 celsior.

thanks

Look up the part numbers for both the 91 LS and Celsior at http://www.toyodiy.com/

I believe the failure mode is the brushes wear out so there isn't good contact to the slip rings on the rotor (field). Maybe you take it out clean it up a bit and put in a new brush kit?

The part numbers are exactly the same (27060-50010/50011) so it will be a straight swop, don't forget to replace the PS reservoir O ring and disconnect the battery.

A. The early LS400 models are subject to developing PS leaks.

B. The early LS400 models are subject to developing alternator failures.

C. The PS failure results in alternator failures.

D. The only correlation between the two is due to ignoring the PS leak until the alternator fails of its own accord.

How many of the above are true..??

That horse isn't just dead but stinking and offensive.

Great result.

Your Celsior looks the same color as mine Lexus Dark Silver?

Get yourself some smoked turn signals around $50.00 on ebay takes years off the car!

Great service, overnight shipping, inexpensive ($129 includes shipping and return FedEx package for returning old alternator), plus life-time warranty!

Good luck!

I think he sorted the problem nearly 2 months ago. Great advertisement for the business by the way I guess you either own it or work for it?

Steve2006,

I posted my message for the benefit of Lexus owners like myself. I have no ownership, nor interest in Tucson Alternator Exchange. I don't even live in the same state. Have you priced a rebuilt or new alternator recently? There is a tremendous savings. Why are you jumping to such a quick conclusion? Thanks.
