I know about what "issues" these have but alternators don't seem to really go on these unless you fry them crossing rivers. I've had some fun in light mud but that's it. Everything just started dying today, the screen etc. So we got it jumped and home (my spouse was driving, he pulled over and shut off) but technically it didn't strand him. I had AAA replace the battery anyway bc it's about time. Starts up just like new but the battery light stays on? I assume it's an alternator but a little surprised at this mechanical problem for such a stout vehicle that's been so well cared for, but oh well. They tell me not to drive it (unless to the shop) but I have been and it's holding at a tad about 12 volts (thank you, comprehensive gauges), starting right up. Stronger start than before.
Anyone replacing alternators on these at a tad over 100k? I'm fine with it but a little disappointed. I would take my much older LS430 right now, this second, and drive it to Alaska and back and not worry about a thing.
