EviLette Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 92 GP SE vs 99 GTP The alternator in my 92 GP is working fine, but my a/c really needs recharged, I have windows being goofy and a starting issue I have yet to resolve. The alternator just failed in the GTP, and right now the AC works better, windows, and the car is more comfortable to drive and I am BROKE. I can't believe I am thinking this but... Can I pull the alternator off my 92 GP SE and put in on the 99 GTP? Are they swappable? I would tend to think they aren't but I have people saying they are, so just wanted the general consensus from you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 The '92 uses a CS-130, whereas the '99 uses a newer CS-130D, I believe. I don't know if the 3.4L got the "D" out of the gate though. Go on Autozone and look at part numbers for each. If nothing else I'd suspect the clocking might be incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviLette Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks! I had compared the part numbers on RockAuto and saw that they had differed so I assumed that the alternators were different, I just wanted to be certain. I wouldn't think of harvesting parts off Precious if I didn't know that driving the GTP (yet unnamed) was more comfortable and efficient, better gas mileage. LOL. I guess I'll just have to shell out the money to buy a new alternator for the GTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 There are probably several candidates for a replacement in the junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 For some reason, the interchange is showing 1999-2003 Grand Prix 3.8 only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Then I don't know. Autozone states all 3 engines available in '99 GP cars are exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I don't place much value in AutoZone as it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich17 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Mounting is totally different IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
