Product Line Details

BBB Industries REMAN ALTERNATOR line focuses on remanufactured electrical components built to match the original charging-system configuration. Part number 8498 follows the OE-style layout for vehicles using a Delco/Delphi-based DR44G alternator design, including the correct pulley, plug clock position, and internal regulation setup.

Detailed Description

Use BBB Industries 8498 when replacing a worn or failing alternator in 2007-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2007-2009 GMC Envoy, 2007-2009 Saab 9-7x, 2007-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and 2007 Buick Rainier applications that call for a 150 amp alternator. The unit is configured with a 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) pulley, 6 pulley grooves, and a 4 o’clock plug clock position to match the listed OE-style fitment. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Battery warning light caused by alternator output loss
• Low charging voltage at idle or under electrical load
• Dim lights or unstable electrical performance
• Noise from a worn alternator bearing or pulley assembly
• Charging-system failure on 150 amp OE-style applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle uses a 150 amp alternator before ordering.
• Confirm the plug clock position, pulley groove count, and rotation direction against the original unit.
• Inspect the serpentine belt and charging connectors during replacement.
• Check battery condition and charging voltage after installation.
• Match the OE-style Delco/Delphi configuration for proper fitment.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactured electrical components are built around OE-style specifications for direct replacement use. Part number 8498 is remanufactured to support the listed charging-system configuration for compatible Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, and related applications.
