I condensed your quote specifically to address the alternator and belt tensioner replacements.

While it may be true that some remans are better than others, the belt tensioner replacement intervals seems a bit odd...have you considered the possibility that the belt tension might be overly tight? Perhaps causing premature bearing/pulley failure on both the alternator and tensioners?
