    Hi all, I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the alternator on a stinger/g70 3.3 at home in my garage with my basic tools. Yesterday I had an issue of a dead battery and after recharging and having autozone test my battery we determined that my battery is healthy. And I used the alternator test function on my battery charger and it said my alternator was bad. I can’t find anything on the internet depicting the process of changing an alternator on these cars. I read on a forum/Reddit post someone saying the engine had to come out for the alternator… and a friend of mine who works at a auto shop said he would have to remove the front subframe and quoted me $1100 for the job.

    I’m just wondering if anyone has experience and insight with this. I’m really hoping it’s possible for me to just remove the passenger side intake and some other parts in the area and replace it myself.

      Alignment says everything in the green. Air pressure 30-32lbs. Michelin PS4S 265/35 on factory wheel. The only "suspension" mod I've done is sway bars.

        I just got a 2018 gt2 with the 3.3tt and it’s awd. I got the car with a blown motor and I’m now in the market for a motor lol. When I was looking I found that the awd motors are a lot harder to find and cost about 2k more. From my understanding the long blocks are the same. So in that case can I just buy a motor that came out of a rwd and put it in my awd without modifications? Thanks in advance!

              2019 stinger GT all-wheel-drive 40,000 miles and our other 2019 GT two with 60,000 miles have both had torque converter leaks from the transmission Bell housing covered under warranty but a real pain in the ass takes nearly a month to get the car back anybody else experiencing this what are the odds both our stingers fell victim to this leak?

                    Just hit 200,000 miles on my ‘19 Stinger GT. Only
                    Issue so far was a recently replaced oil sensor. I have no mods except suspension Eibach Sway Bars/Springs, and wheels- 20” square setup. The car continues to be excellent!. Red interior and has not shown fade or wear and only a little on steering wheel. Exterior just stone chips on paint which is probably the only part that could be improved(Black). Seems to chip easy compared to my other vehicles. Hope the rest of the Stinger owners have the same luck! Goal
                    Is 300,000 miles…we will see

                      Hey All,

                      I’m new to these forms so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

                      TL/DR: I have no clue how to safely provide switched 12V power to the LEDs in my steering wheel since I was given raw wires and no instructions from the seller.

                      I recently got an aftermarket steering wheel for my Stinger that has LEDs. The LEDs are powered by a 12V wire, but I’m unsure of what to tap into. The seller is extremely unhelpful and suggested I take it to a professional, but I’ve already installed the wheel and don’t really want to bring it in if this is simple. I’ve seen people say you can use the headlights wire, but then the LEDs only work at night. I’ve also seen people tap into the heated steering wheel wire for switched power, but I’d prefer an alternative where I don’t need to use heated steering. On other cars, I’ve seen people tap the horn wire, but they report battery discharge issues. I don’t really need heated steering at all so I guess I could just leave it disconnected besides the LEDs if possible? On that note, my wheel also has 4 raw wires for heating, which the seller says I should just plug into the factory adapter after removing the old wires. Has anyone done this? Seems easier than the LEDs but figured I’d add it here in case anyone has input. I’m not sure how to upload pictures, as the two hosting sites I tried did not work in the upload box on this site, so please let me know how to go about that if pictures would be helpful!
