By the way my previous post (ZQ8, etc) was referencing Ray's '95 Burb. I hear you on the warranty. This new CS alternator looks kinda rough for a new unit, but with the warranty I'm covered if I have any issues. At $77 I'm tempted by the reman box, but I may hold out until the trade show in December... (hope to find a deal on a new Delphi box).
