You could try to find a used one but then you risk it being bad with no warranty but its up to you. I just went new and turned my old alt in as a core

well twist to this story... ready here we go., i took my battery to get charged overnight. pick it up and guy tells me batt no good, only held 25% no more charge. So i buy a new battery, put it in stang, car turns on nice and strong but as it starts to idle the battery light turned on and would go away only when i would rev..? Took the alternator off, had it tested, and guess what.... failed!! still under warranty i took it to the same cheap *** autoparts store to get another, oh and keep in mind that in the past 4 months this would be my 3rd alternator for my car...?? Can it be that my cheap *** is finally getting what im suppose to for being cheap or can my car be burning out these alternators..?

Lol it is a fault of the plug design ford had as well, your cheap alts may be no good but if they were too weak to begin with they wouldn't have burned your plug. It could also have been a chain reaction with that plug taking down your other items, your regulator on the alt is probably working the alt to death since it isn't seeing proper voltage. I would change that plug out asap. Also keep in mind batteries don't take well to going dead, and don't like slow discharges

so pretty much i stuck a fork in the other battery since something is wrong with my charging system and it kept getting drained and charged, i can see how thats possible.
I have no idea where i can buy a new plug..., im thinking of just hitting the pick n pull and take my chances there!
