Re: Noise reducer on Alternator question.

My old alty didn't have that part. The Reman did. Didn't feel/hear/see any difference. The dude at O'Reily told me it was for radio reception...wtf?

He's right, those thingys are small capacitors, they filter out high frequency "noise" that the alternator generates, which can help with radio reception/ amp noise from your stereo/etc.
That being said, I've never had one on my dsm, and my current radio can pick up all the St. Cloud radio stations from my house in Coon Rapids, so I doubt it helps much.
