I would put in a used Bosch original before I put in a rebuilt Auto Zone alternator--same holds for a starter.

Ditto. Too damn easy to replace the regulator, and I've never seen a used one with bad bearings. Nothing else to go bad on them.

I haven't a clue about automotive electronics. AZ said the alternator had a bad diode(?) and the regulator was also bad.
