I had to install an alternator, tensioner, and belt on the 96 shortly after i bought it 130 000 kms ago, it was always a little weak below 12-1300 rpm, and got even worse the last couple months. The old one would pull down to 12 volts cycling the intake heater after firing up at idle, this one holds about 13.5 at idle with intake heater on.Oh, forgot to mention I checked the oil a couple mornings ago when it was a -50C with the windchill outside, I was able to poke dents in the mostly 15w40 without getting a trace of oil on my finger. Magnet heater wasn't doing much good till I put a cardboard box around the lower oil pan and plugged any airholes with rags. 10 hrs later the oil got way warmer, well cool and messy. That combined with warm batteries I warmed inside had the 96 fire up fairly easy for how cold it was.
