Alternator, upgrade?
#11
Well I have had alternators last much longer on other cars. I didn't know if the 200 amp would be better if I decided to do more electrical upgrades later on.
I already bought an OEM replacement since I had to have a vehicle after my beater started over heating and wouldn't start. The alternator was the quicker fix. More expensive but definitely quicker.

Completely understand. I also have a 97 subaru impreza that has 250K on it and the original alternator on it. I would think that it's alternator would go out before a newer built alternator. But who knows I could be all washed up.

I'm with you, Nuke. When I replaced the alternator in my Mustang the second time, I went with the new (not rebuilt) lifetime warranty alternator from O'Reilly. Since it seems I have to replace this poor design far more than I should, I will let them pay for it.

This was the first alternator that I have had to replace on any of my vehicles I have owned. All of which had the original alternator. I did end up going with a refurb from O'Reilly only cause my beater wouldn't start due to a timing issue. Otherwise I would have went with new.
