I can't BEGIN to tell you how many bad alternators I got from Orielly's and Autozone at the shop I worked at. Constantly doing warranty work. Keep the original and rebuild it per Stretch's thread and reinstall. It'll be way better than "rebuilt" junk.

Well then, I wonder what little elf has been running around replace both mine every year.....because I need them to replace other things...
euro has been using a lifetime starter for 5 years, lifetime alternator for 7 and was only exchanged after the voltage regular went bad on one that was bought 15 years before....78 has been using one for the last 3 years....
Need to stop, pushing your "personal" experiences....
