OEM Alternators

The Importance of Good Alternators for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram

The alternator is sort of a generator. It uses the engine as a power source, and, to put it simply, an alternator helps distribute power to your vehicle’s electrical system while the vehicle is operating. While many drivers assume that the battery gives their vehicle its power, the battery’s role is actually to help start the car. To learn more about what alternator works best for your vehicle, take a look at National Mopar Parts' list of alternators.

You'll more than likely get at least seven years abuse from your alternator before you need to consider replacing it. You might also need to change it sooner if you experience symptoms such as a battery light on the dash, slow engine cranking, a dead battery, or whining noise from under the hood. As well, you might see poor electrical performance from systems like power windows or your headlights.
