DB Electrical AHI0111 New Alternator for 3.5L 3.5 Infiniti QX4 01 02 2001 2002, Nissan Pathfinder 01 02 2001 2002 334-1435 113420 LR1110-712 13900 23100-3W400 1-2490-01HI

You don't have to remove as much stuff to R&R the alternator as shown in some YouTube videos... just remove the lower piece of the radiator fan cowling, loosen the main belt and remove the idler pulley. This will provide enough room to R&R the alternator. However, the "L" shaped nut for the top bolt will be impossible to get back into position so do this: "cradle" the new unit on the front sway bar, hoses, and such just so it does not drop. Then use some epoxy (I used a dab of JB Weld) to affix the nut in place (avoid getting any on the threads). Just enough is needed to hold it it place while CAREFULLY lifting the alternator into place and getting the top bolt started. Once started, you're golden and the rest of the job goes pretty quickly. As the bolt is tightened the epoxy bond will snap and the nut will self align into place. Doing this eliminates the need to remove the radiator hose, power steering pump, etc which all makes a big mess. It does slow the job down a bit while waiting for the epoxy to cure so need to plan for that. I just let it cure overnight as I was in no big rush. You can try affixing it to the alternator ahead of time but it will likely get knocked off while threading the new unit through the sway bar and such (that's what happened to me) so instead I affixed it once I had the alternator cradled just below where it actually gets installed. I wish I had known all of this ahead of time as I wasted a lot of time trying various strategies for getting the nut into place before I resorted to the epoxy trick. Good luck!

Still going after 6 months, have bought other electrical items from DB before, no problems yet.

Installed this alternator months ago and it has worked flawlessly so far! Pricing was great and it was completely plug and play for my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder LE.

AAA+

Lasted just over a year, goodbye warranty. Today while driving to an appointment I suddenly got a Christmas tree of dash lights for a few moments that subsided to the familiar "brake" and "battery" lights flashing and odd sounds, till the sounds went away and the lights became solid. When I got there I needed to go, volt meter running: 10.4 volts.Maybe I got unlucky, but for the time it takes to change this thing I'd rather only do it once.

Working great going on year

Poor casting and bearing noise and both boxes were destroyed in shipping

Bought this alternator on June 2019 and its December 2019 and the alternator is not charging at all and requires replacement. Went to Advanced Auto to test my battery and alternator since all of my dashboard warning lights came on. After the Advanced Auto tests, the battery is good but the alternator is shut. Will contact the seller for this defective alternator. Seems like alot of reviewers has the same issue about reliability of the sellers alternators.
