In the course of my work, I come across SO MANY dead on arrival alternators sourced from auto parts chain stores that I do not suggest getting a rebuilt unit from them. Just 3 weeks ago I installed an alternator on a Jeep and I got a call later that night that the customer was stranded and the engine wouldn't stay running. The replacement alternator was charging great when it rolled out of my bay, and by the end of the day the brand new battery was sucked down to 9 volts with NO charging from the alternator at all. They did warranty the unit, but the FRUSTRATION is real and the hassle costs money.
Have your OE unit rebuilt by a small brick & mortar shop. Stretch has demonstrated in the past that these starters are very robust internally and can be rebuilt well pretty easily.
