OEM GM Alternators

Powering Your Adventures with a Genuine GM Alternator

Modern SUVs are basically rolling computers, and the alternator is the power plant that keeps it all going. From the massive infotainment screen to the heated seats and the myriad of safety sensors, your Chevrolet Tahoe has a huge appetite for electricity. If your alternator starts to fade, you’re going to see everything from dimmed headlights to a transmission that shifts strangely because it isn't getting the voltage it needs.

Most Common Alternator Problems and Their Solution

Battery Warning Light on Dash

Usually indicates the alternator isn't outputting enough voltage. The fix is to test the output and replace it with a genuine GM unit.

Dimming Headlights at Idle

This means the alternator is struggling to keep up with the load. A new high-amperage OEM alternator will restore your electrical balance.

Whining Noise from the Engine

Usually means the internal bearings are failing. Replace the alternator immediately before it seizes and snaps your serpentine belt.

Flickering Interior Lights

Often a sign of a failing voltage regulator. Since the regulator is built-in, you’ll need a fresh alternator to solve the flickering.

Electrical Burning Smell

If the internal windings are shorting out, they will produce a distinct smell. Stop the car and replace the alternator to avoid a fire.

Strange Shifting Transmission

Low voltage can confuse the transmission computer. If your Tahoe is shifting strangely, check the alternator output first.
