It's about time I could contribute to the conversation. Buy a Bosch alternator. When you think your getting a good deal by buying a CHINESE alternator, your not. Dan & I have a Bosch alternator, it lasted 5 YEARS then we put in a CHINESE alternator and guess what it lasted...5 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got Andrew to rebuild our old BOSCH alternator, well he got a alternator shop to do it. (it's cheap too) So once you have one and it goes out 5 YEARS later.....then get it rebuilt. CHINESE alternators...SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
