7Mary3 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Who is actually manufacturing Motorcraft alternator and starters these days? I though it was Visteon, but it looks like Visteon is not much more than infotainment and instrument clusters anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDuff Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Whoever it is, they aren't doing a good job. Would not recommend for a do-it-yourselfer right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Do not buy Motorcraft Reman alternators. Severe issues with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Only use motorcraft alternators if it's easy to replace. Which ofcourse is very few vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Talking about OEM on new vehicles, not rebuilts. Noted on the rebuilts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwnsmoke Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Can you even get new OEM alternators? I was under the impression they were all reman units when buying over the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes you can most of the time get new. The remans are an aerosol overhaul as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 No guys, I am asking who manufactures the NEW alternators and starters that come on NEW Ford vehicles. OEM installed, not replacement. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
