Caliber SXT 1.8L 4-C

  • Automatic transmission
  • 128,000 miles

The linked video is not my car, but it's exactly the same loud noise & problem.

My research has found:

- Alternator Decoupler Pulley (ADP) only is $30-50

- Time is 4+ hrs

- Changing the entire alternator is $150-200, but only ~1 hr labor.

So it's about even cost either way if you pay a tech to do it.
